Description
The MAX30205 temperature sensor accurately measures temperature and provide an overtemperature alarm/interrupt/shutdown output. This device converts the temperature measurements to digital form using a high-resolution, sigma-delta, analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
Applications/Uses
- Fitness
- Medical
GETTING STARTED WITH CJMCU-30205 MAX30205 Body Human Temperature Sensor
In this tutorial we will use CJMCU-30205 MAX30205 temperature sensor to measure body temperature.
Step1: Hardware required
Step2: Connecting the Hardware
Wire the MAX30205 breakout board to an Arduino Uno(or equivalent) using the following connections.
| Arduino | MAX30205 Breakout board |
|---|---|
| 5v | Vin (3.3V is also supported, change solder jumper behind the board. Default will be 5V) |
| GND | GND |
| A4 | SDA |
| A5 | SCL |
Step3: CJMCU-30205 MAX30205 Library setup
Before making the sketch make sure you have the Protocentral_MAX30205-master library if not, you can download it here .
After download the library extract it to the arduino library folder as shown below
Step4: Upload the sample sketch
- Open the Arduino IDE to load the embedded code for Protocentral_MAX30205.
- Click on File -> Open and Browse the .ino code for Arduino from Protocentral_MAX30205-master\arduino and export the application to Arduino.
Step5: Testing the circuit
Open serial terminal window, you should see the temperature values obtained from the Protocentral_MAX30205 Breakout Board as shown below.
