How to integrate MAX30003 WING with nRF5340DK?

[Nahin]

My task is to use MAX30003 WING and process ECG data using nRF5340 DK. I will use SPI protocol for doing it. I was following these 2 tutorials: Lesson 5 - Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) - Nordic Developer Academy and Lesson 7 - Device driver model - Nordic Developer Academy. Still now, I can not figure out if I need driver file e.g. in this location: sdk\zephyr\drivers\sensor or I am missing important stuffs. I also googled for solution, but did not get the solution.

My question would be too much naive because I am new to nRF products. As per my understanding, MAX30003 is a custom sensor in respect to nRF5340 DK.

Please help me ASAP to get through for working with MAX30003 WING.

I am writing it in here because I have a deadline for this task before Wednesday 13/11/2024.

Note: I am using SDK 2.6.1 with Visual Studio Code.

Hello Nahin,

Still now, I can not figure out if I need driver file e.g. in this location: sdk\zephyr\drivers\sensor or I am missing important stuffs.

Writing a driver is not required, however, it is highly recommended and will make things more structured.

Take a look at this:
https://github.com/Protocentral/protocentral_max30001_zephyr_driver

You should be able to reuse some code from the MAX30001 driver.

The lessons you refer to are good starting points for understanding the drivers. Please let us know if you encounter any specific issues.

Hi, I skimmed the GitHub page that you shared, some of the functions can be used in MAX30003. How can I write code without writing driver code and visualize ECG data in serial plotter? Can you please guide me? I am asking this question because I have a deadline. Today basically I spent time on understanding SPI basics and taking help from Nordic Semiconductor AI.

Note: My task is to collect ECG data for some amount of time e.g. 1 minute, then store it in a .csv file.

Hi Nahin, sorry for the delay.
