MAX30105 to Cyton Board

Sensors Environmental

I am creating a device that can measure scalp oximetry, scalp temperature and EEG. I have the OpenBCI Cyton board for the EEG. I am planning on purchasing the MAX30105 to do the oximetry and temperature. I was wondering if I could use the Cyton board to communicate with the MAX30105, or do I need to get another microcontroller? The Cyton board has the PIC32MX250F128B microcontroller.

Thanks

Hi Samvb.

As long as your board supports I2C and has a free I/O pin, I don’t see a reason why

it couldn’t be programmed to communicate with the MAX30105.

You would need to write your own firmware to make it function though as it’s not a

“plug it in and it just works” type of thing. Sadly we don’t have any PIC example

code or libraries but you should be able to adapt the Arduino code/libraries to PIC

if you’re good a programming.
