This is for my final year project that I have been tasked with designing a patient monitoring system. However, during the last stretch of model prototyping, I am experiencing issues with my MAX30100 and DS18B20 thermal probe.
My thermal probe is giving me a proper reading of the temperature. However, the oximeter values are always stuck to zero and the call back function is not executed. I did read that it was an issue where the thermal probe continues to do conversion and doesn't allow the max30100 sensor to perform any other functions. So for that, i just had to pass sensors.setWaitForConversion(false);
I did try to write the code for the DS18B20 thermal probe and the oximeter sensor seperately and it executed perfectly. However, when I try to integrate everything together into a final project, the max30100 sensor doesn't carry out the reading and is stuck to zero while the thermal probe is perfectly working finding out its temperature. I did the same coding process as the previous when i tried to seperately work with the thermal and oximeter sensor. However, it is the final integration that is causing a lot of issues.
The data will be sent to firebase real-time database via the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. I have got it to work fine. But i am stuck on the final integration of the BP machine, the MAX30100 Oximeter sensor and the DS18B20 Waterproof Thermal Probe. I am also using the Arduino Mega2560 board.
Could anyone guide me as to how do I perform integration of the MAX30100 Sensor with the DS18B20 Probe?

Also attaching the code I wrote for integration of the MAX30100 Oximeter and the DS18B20 Thermal Probe standalone below.
#include <Wire.h>
#include "MAX30100_PulseOximeter.h"
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
#define REPORTING_PERIOD_MS 1000
PulseOximeter pox;
uint32_t tsLastReport = 0;
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);
#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 5
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);
float cel=0.00;
// Callback (registered below) fired when a pulse is detected
void onBeatDetected()
{
Serial.println("Beat!");
}
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.print("Initializing...");
sensors.begin();
sensors.setWaitForConversion(false);
// Initialize the PulseOximeter instance
if (!pox.begin()) {
Serial.println("MAX30100 was not found. Please check the wiring/power.");
lcd.print("FAILED");
for (;;);
} else {
Serial.println("SUCCESS");
}
// pox.setIRLedCurrent(MAX30100_LED_CURR_7_6MA);
// Register a callback for the beat detection
pox.setOnBeatDetectedCallback(onBeatDetected);
}
void loop()
{
float HeartRate = 3.0, SpO2 = 3.0;
pox.update();
HeartRate = pox.getHeartRate();
SpO2 = pox.getSpO2();
if (millis() - tsLastReport > REPORTING_PERIOD_MS) {
Serial.print("Heart rate:");
Serial.print(HeartRate);
Serial.print("bpm / SpO2:");
Serial.print(SpO2);
Serial.println("%");
sensors.requestTemperatures();
cel=sensors.getTempCByIndex(0);
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(cel);
Serial.println("");
tsLastReport = millis();
lcd.clear();
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
lcd.print("HR:");
lcd.print(HeartRate);
lcd.print(" bpm");
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("SpO2:");
lcd.print(SpO2);
lcd.print("%");
lcd.setCursor(11,1);
lcd.print("T:");
lcd.print(cel);
}
}
The required output when I run the second code:
Heart Rate: 55.38 BPM / SpO2: 96.00%
Temperature: 25.50
Beat!
Heart Rate: 54.07 BPM / SpO2: 95.00%
Temperature: 26.51
Beat!
Heart Rate: 60.38 BPM / SpO2: 97.00%
Temperature: 27.55
Beat!
The output I get when I try to integrate all the sensors together:
Heart Rate: 0.00 BPM / SpO2: 0.00%
Temperature: 27.50
Heart Rate: 0.00 BPM / SpO2: 0.00%
Temperature: 27.30
Heart Rate: 0.00 BPM / SpO2: 0.00%
Temperature: 27.36
Heart Rate: 0.00 BPM / SpO2: 0.00%
Temperature: 28.05
