How to Wire MAX30100 Heart Rate Monitor With Arduino Microcontroller

This is the MAX300100 breakout board that reads heart rate or pulse oximetry. The chip has an integrated optical sensor that derives its reading from emitting two wavelength of light from the two LED’s then measures the absorbance of pulsing blood through a photodetector. The signal is processed by a low noise analog signal processing unit and communicated to the Microcontroller through the i2C Interface.

The MAX30100 operates from 1.8v and 3.3v voltage input and can be powered down through software with negligible standby current, permitting the power supply to remain connected at all times. The device is suitable for wearable devices like smart watch, medical monitoring equipment’s, fitness assistant and smart suits.

Could you show me how to connect and read data by using Raspberry?

Thank you very much!

I have a doubt....my max30100 is not responding to the I2C scanner code
I have checked my code with other I2C devices the cord works fine but with max30100 it is not working
what problem do I have?? please help
thanks in advance

My I2C code,
// --------------------------------------
// i2c_scanner
//
// Version 1
// This program (or code that looks like it)
// can be found in many places.
// For example on the Arduino.cc forum.
// The original author is not know.
// Version 2, Juni 2012, Using Arduino 1.0.1
// Adapted to be as simple as possible by Arduino.cc user Krodal
// Version 3, Feb 26 2013
// V3 by louarnold
// Version 4, March 3, 2013, Using Arduino 1.0.3
// by Arduino.cc user Krodal.
// Changes by louarnold removed.
// Scanning addresses changed from 0...127 to 1...119,
// according to the i2c scanner by Nick Gammon
// http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10896
// Version 5, March 28, 2013
// As version 4, but address scans now to 127.
// A sensor seems to use address 120.
// Version 6, November 27, 2015.
// Added waiting for the Leonardo serial communication.
//
//
// This sketch tests the standard 7-bit addresses
// Devices with higher bit address might not be seen properly.
//

Can I use wrist to measure heart rate using MAX30100 ?
