Problems with readings with ad8323(ECG device)

Hey. guys. i have a problem.

I connected the ad8323 board to an arduino uno which I connected to my laptop.

The voltage at 3,3 v is on the 3,3 v supply pins (that is apparently not the problem) , all pins seem to be normal.

The code I used (seems to be the standard one that comes with all manuals):

void setup() {

// initialise the serial communication:

Serial.begin(9600);

pinMode(11, INPUT); // Setup for leads off detection LO +

pinMode(10, INPUT); // Setup for leads off detection LO -

}

void loop() {

if((digitalRead(10) == 1)||(digitalRead(11) == 1)){

Serial.println(‘!’);

}

else{

// send the value of analog input 0:

Serial.println(analogRead(A0));

}

//Wait for a bit to keep serial data from saturating

delay(1);
}

The problem is that I get some kind of sinusoid instead of ECG graph (and if some contact is badly seated, there will be 2 graphs, otherwise, the one I showed above). This is definitely not my heart rhythm, because I am not dead(sort of). I would be grateful if you could help me, please.

When the contacts are poorly applied to the body(2)

I also noticed that the LED on the ad8323 inside the heart pattern lights up alternately, maybe this has something to do with it.

Have you placed the pads in the correct locations?
Are you using fresh new pads?
Are you keeping very still?
Did you clean the skin area where you placed the pads?
