problem on reading sensor max30100 with Raspberry Pi3

hi, I want to connect the sensor max30100 to the Raspberry Pi board. I followed this.
https://github.com/vrano714/max30102-tu ... aspberrypi

I think everything is accurate. But the sensor doesn't turn on and it doesn't happen to the program. I'm happy someone helps. I'm a beginner.

Maybe the author/developer/maintainer of the code is the best source of advice?

Did you carry out the prerequisite steps listed in the documentation here: https://github.com/vrano714/max30102-tu ... errypi#run



There is some troubleshooting advice from the author here: https://github.com/vrano714/max30102-tu ... i/issues/3


If you want to pursue the problem here you will probably need to indicate what Operating System is running on your RPi 3 board, and provide an example of what happens when you try to run the code. For example, there are 3 sample scripts in addition to the library module itself. Have you tried all 3? What actually happens?


A clear, focussed photo of the wiring between the sensor and your RPi might also allow the cabling to be checked.
