AD8232 for football players performance

Hello everyone
I’m using ad8232 for a vest that football players can use where the sensor will show the heart rate and ECG for the players
but I have two problems:
first one → I can not measure the heart rate and the ECG from the same chip at the same time, actually I can not measure the heart rate from the ad8232, so how can I measure it?

second one → What are the things that I must do or care about to reduce the noise as much as I can in the ECG signal?

Here’s the HR example AD8232 Heart Rate Monitor Hookup Guide - SparkFun Learn

You might need to use non-blocking code to read them at the same time…or use a function that groups them together

Time in seconds between peaks in received data multiplied by 60 is heart rate.

I use Arduino IDE, and I used this code but the output data from it when I use the serial plotter, it shows the ECG
so I don’t still know what to do, so I would be pleased if you could explain in more detail the steps that I need to do

You will need to write your own code that calculates BPM from the existing data then output it in the serial stream to be displayed graphically with the serial plotter.

Unfortunately I am unable to assist you with the needed code changes but you should be able to find anyone that codes in C to help you.
