Some example of how to use the MAX30100 in PBP?

[Ioannis]

I think it is more cost preferable to buy a ready made device (I did):

ING:
Good morning and thanks for responding ... In the midst of this crisis, your recommendation is complex. We specifically need to add that sensor to our project.

Buen día y gracias por responder... En medio de esta crisis, es compleja tu recomendación. Específicamente necesitamos sumar ese sensor a nuestro proyecto.

I though you needed a stand alone device.

But if you need to make other machine is different matter.

The data sheet has all the info and I had a look. There are registers that need to be set and then others to read back. The chip even controls the current of the two LED's. Is not that simple I am afraid.

exactly that's it; I did not find any topic as a guide, therefore I assume it is complex.

a quick look at an arduino lib for your chip reveals a fair bit of fp math and 32 bit variables too, all this done at 100hz sample rate.
its a tall order for those low spec pic chips mentioned
