Sparkfun Pulse Oximeter and Heart rate monitor: Code uploads but nothing on the serial monitor

Hello,

I am having trouble running Example1_config_BPM_Mode1 with my sensor. When I upload the code nothing shows in the serial monitor and no lights flash on the sensor. I have the correct port selected and board selected since simpler projects are working. Any ideas why nothing would happen even if the code compiles and uploads successfully?

Please provide photos of the top and bottom of your board and another photo showing how the sensor is connected to your Arduino. We’re going to need those to help.
