 I need the Red, IR, and Green readings. I have the MAX30101 and Xiao BLE nRf52840 with the models shown in the pictures below. 
 
 I just used the Hexiwear sample code for max30101 and only added lines in the proj.conf , xiao.overlay for dts</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Sat, 16 Mar 2024 02:33:58 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/109337/bad-readings-only-at-red-led-max30101-with-xiao-nrf52840" /><item><title>RE: Bad readings only at Red LED (MAX30101 with Xiao nRF52840)</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/474158?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Mar 2024 02:33:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:d0cdfd10-17cd-4584-840a-f549019317e6</guid><dc:creator>hmolesworth</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="emoticon" data-url="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/1f642.svg" title="Slight smile"&gt;&amp;#x1f642;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Bad readings only at Red LED (MAX30101 with Xiao nRF52840)</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/474157?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Mar 2024 02:09:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3936bbff-669f-4640-8762-843f26ae20dc</guid><dc:creator>sacergoose199</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you for the tip!
