Hi,  
I’ve just bought a breakout garden for one of my Raspberry Pis, and a handful of breakout boards including the MAX30101 Oximeter. The github repository has an example for reading a pulse rate, though I can’t see an example for getting a SP02 reading.

Does the library cater for reading SP02? If not, is there a way of reading the raw SPO2 data?  
Thanks in advance,  
Steve
