2) Misunderstanding of oximetry, especially motion artifacts. Don't expect a useful signal when the sensor is moving. Don't expect a useful signal from the very first batch, it may take some time - say, a minute - for the whole system to get going.

Some cloned sensors may have the RED and IR channels swapped; see Rob Cazzaro's post: https://github.com/aromring/MAX30102_by_RF/issues/13#issue-601473302 (his is a prime example of an excellent bug report, by the way).

C. If the signal is of good quality, but the code still refuses to cooperate, then send the data to me, but please don't use Instructables mail for this purpose (data always comes truncated)! Preferably, open a new issue in this GitHub repository and paste the data there.

Thank you.
