Figure 3: Functional Diagram of MAX30100 Figure 4: MAX30100 with Breakout boardTo start reading from the MAX30100, the chip needs to first be set to a mode of operation, forexample SpO2 + HR mode, which can be done through the registers [19]. This allows the sensorto detect heartbeats as well as start reading IR and Red-light data through the photodetector. TheDC signal needs to be removed from the raw IR data to read the hearth rate and oxygensaturation properly, leaving the AC part only. Only the light absorbance levels from the bloodare needed, which means other absorbance from surrounding tissues and anything else in thefinger and

detect live AC voltage. In thisexperiment, we commandeer this handy device to explore the concept of shielding. If you placethe plastic tip of the detector near a normal insulated wire with a live AC voltage, the meter willglow and beep to warn you that the wire is hot. Interestingly, if you keep the meter and liveinsulated wire in exactly the same position, but physically do not touch the barrel of the meter,the meter may go silent. Students are asked to explore this curious behavior by (safely)probing standard three-prong outlets and power cords with and without holding the meter.Students are then asked to use their findings to explain how the meter works. Next, studentswrap a standard power cord in aluminum foil and probe the foil. To some
