Before setting up my board, I used the following Pinout as a reference:

Figure 01: Pin-out of ATMEGA328P Elegoo R3 Uno

I wired up my Arduino like this:

Figure 02: Arduino jumper wiring

The breadboard was wired like this:

Figure 03: MAX30102 sensor jumper wiring on the breadboard

The overall connections looked like this:

I ran the serial monitor and I swiped my hand over the sensor to test the range. If the MAX30102 sensor picks up my hand movements, then it prints "Something is there!" on the serial monitor.
