Hi guys, I'm currently working on a project detecting heart rate using MAX30003 Protocentral ECG Breakout sensor. When I tested the sensor using Arduino UNO it was working well. However, for connectivity reason I'm changing the MCU to ESP32 NodeMCU Devkit-1.

I use the code from Protocentral library. At first, the functions are working well until I push the EN button. It seems something has changed with MOSI, MISO, SCK, and CSB pinouts, and error message appears on the COM serial monitor.

Please any advice on how to making it work

No idea. What's the error message you get?

The pins I use are GPIO 19 (MISO), 23 (MOSI), 18 (SCK), 5 (CS). There are no error messages but the pins are not sending signal to the microcontroller. I've tried changing the pins and the code as well, but nothing happens. When I move the project back to Arduino Uno, everything is working well.

Without an error message, it's hard to say. Might be that that library isn't built to work well on platforms other than the AVR in the Uno.

it was something like this can u please guide us on how to move forward with it
