Use it as a fun way to see your heartbeat, or to make LEDs or lights pulse in time with your heart. \u0026lt;3 It's Raspberry Pi and Arduino-compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor has three LED—green, red, and infra-red—and photodetectors that can be used together to detect the amount of light reflected back to the sensor. A technique called photoplethysmography (PPG) can be used to detect the change in colour of your skin with each beat of your heart when the sensor is pressed against your fingertip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use the MAX30101 to detect particles in the air, like smoke, by measuring the amount of light bounced back to the sensor by the particles. We've got a rough example of how to do this in our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePython library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also compatible with our fancy Breakout Garden HAT, where using breakouts is as easy just popping it into one of the six slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're using the MAX30101 with Breakout Garden for measuring heart rate, then we'd recommend using one of our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBreakout Garden Extender Kits\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ealong with some\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efemale-to-female jumper\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(available as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEssential extras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon this page).
