From the author of the repo

I don't think that this repo is a library to use MAX30102 on Raspberry Pi.
I just did re-write the Arduino sample codes to Python codes.

However, I understand some demand for providing APIs (like other MAX30xxx repos).
I hope we can do some discussion (use Ideas for suggesting ideas to enhance this repo).

General comments and tips are of course welcome.

Hi, I was using your file hrcalc.py to find values of hr and spo2. And to check the code, I passed a demo code which will pass a few readings,(not 100). And I faced an error.
If you pass less number of readings to the hrcalc.py still it takes index values to 100, here in line no. 146👇
while i < size - 1
here if you are indexing till size which is 100 it results in IndexError If the list doesn't consist of those many values.
To solve that problem you just need to replace this: while i < size - 1 with this: while i < len(x) - 1:
By this, the indexing will occur only till the last item of the list x and the code will run any no. of values of the list.

So when I hooked the MAX30102 sensor up properly to my Raspberry Pi Zero, I tried to run the program only to get the following errors in Thonny.

Line 5 in module: m = max30102.MAX30102()

Line 55 in init: self.bus = smbus.SMBus(self.channel)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Yet I have everything installed along with the python files in the same folder. If anyone could help with my situation I'd greatly appreciate it.
