DFRobot Fermion MAX30102 Heart Rate and Oximeter Sensor Breakout Module - I2C/UART Interface
The DFRobot Fermion MAX30102 breakout module integrates the Maxim MAX30102 PPG sensor and an onboard MCU with a heart rate and oximetry algorithm, providing processed data via I2C or UART for easy integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other 3.3V/5V logic microcontrollers.
Features
- Integrated MAX30102 PPG sensor with onboard MCU for direct heart rate and SpO2 data output.
- Dual I2C (address 0x57) and UART communication interfaces for flexible system integration.
- Low power consumption, drawing less than 15mA from a 3.3V power supply.
- Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for robust performance.
- Compact breakout board design measuring 18mm x 22mm for space-constrained applications.

The Fermion MAX30102 sensor utilizes Photoplethysmography (PPG) technology, where the MAX30102 chip emits red and infrared LEDs and measures the reflected light to detect blood volume changes in capillaries. This raw PPG data is processed by the integrated microcontroller’s algorithm to calculate real-time heart rate (HR) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) values, which are then output via I2C or UART, significantly reducing the computational load on the main host controller.
Designed for prototyping and wearable applications, the module includes a corresponding PC host computer software for convenient data visualization and logging. Its wide operating temperature and low power profile make it suitable for portable and long-term monitoring projects. Note that consistent, stable contact with the measurement site (e.g., fingertip) is required for accurate and reliable data readings.
