Muscle Sensor not stable

Hey! I have purchased the Myoware Muscle Sensor 2.0 and Electrodes, i soldered directly to an arduino mega, im using my laptop on battery power, only arduino connected.

Using the demo code I found on the website it was picking up noise, so i tried cleaning it up by averaging readings, giving it a certain range, but when i do it doesn’t pick up anything.

I am trying to measure my arm movements, i want to sense my fingers opening and closing.

ANY HELP IS APPRICIATED ASAP!!

More information is needed. The sensor responds to very low voltage signals and will always pick up noise.

The question is whether you can see a real signal, so post some examples of what you consider to be the problem, and a picture of your wiring. Be sure to show how the ground is connected.

Hey! I appreciate your response, I have a professional with me and all my wirings are correct, at this time I am unable to actually send images as I am out of electrode, but as I run my code the line is stable if I tap it it actually takes it in but when I put my electrodes on and then on my arm there are no outputs, this came after I cleaned the noise by giving it a range, I tried multiple placements too, messing with the gain. If u need me to send anything or clarify please ask as fixing this is really crucial for me. Thank you so much

Since you haven’t posted any of the requested information, I suggest to ask the professional to diagnose and fix the problem.
