GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SpO2 (peripheral capillary oxygen
saturation) sensor uses two emitting LED’s one
in the red region and the other in the infrared
region of the spectrum. The reflected light of
each one of these LED’s is absorbed by a
photodiode that converts this current into a
digital value that is sent via SPI. This sensor can
be used to estimate the oxygen saturation level
