ARDUINO LIBRARY FOR MAX30101 VERSION D FOR MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE

[parminder4499]

I am using sparkfun's spo2 sensor board(MAX30101 version A) for measuring spo2 and heart rate. I want to measure blood pressure as well from MAX30101 version D which has firmware by MAXIM integrated for measuring BP. I hereby wanted to ask you if you can modify the Arduino library for MAX30101 version A, so that it can also measures Blood pressure when using version D of the sensor?
If that library is build up then we can freely use MAX30101's different versions for making products using sparkfun's library.
Thanks

I assume you are referring to the MAXREFDES220. That system uses a different architecture this this board. It uses the MAX32664 to do the algorithm processing. This library directly runs an algorithm that is different from the version A and version D (of the MAX32664).

yes i am referring to MAXREFDES220, the SparkFun SEN-15219 Pulse Oximeter & Heart Rate Sensor (which i am using) also uses the MAX32664 for processing( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15219), here also MAX32664 bio sensor hub is doing the algorithm processing and i am reading the processed values using this library through I2C interface of microcontroller. however version A of the MAX32664 has different algorithm than version D of MAX32664 which includes transient Blood pressure measurement. So i guess this library wont work for reading the values from version D of MAX32664.

@parminder4499 This library is for the MAX3010x sensors themselves. Not the MAX32664 sensor hub, which you can find in a different GitHub repository. I believe your issue should be transferred to that repository.

However, since we only use the A version of the sensor hub, I am doubtful that we will do any extra development unless we adopt that hardware version. Primarily because there would be no way to do any testing/verification on our end.

@santaimpersonator I got your point, Thanks for the clarification. Although I have already posted the issue on that GitHub repository. The only aim of using version D is to calculate BPT along with SPo2 and HR. I hope sparkfun will come up with non invasive BP measuring hardware design in healthcare domain.
Thanks and Regards..

@parminder4499 I am moved this issue to the MAX32664 version of the Arduino library and will be closing the issue for the reasons below.

Unfortunately, as previously mentioned, we don't utilize that version of the chip and therefore we probably aren't going to provide any development in the foreseeable future. However, if you make are able to make the necessary modifications, feel free to submit a pull request so that other users may benefit from your work.

@santaimpersonator sure, thanks for the information
