max30003 what's wrong with the signal?

I use nrf52840 and max30003 and SD card that saves my ECG data. I've tried to make a lot of ECG and this one is the best. But I don't know why some ECG PEAKS are positive and some are negative :( why it happens and how to resolve it?

  • Since the minimum sample rate on this part is 125 or 128 samples per second, I would instead focus on what happens to the samples and whether they are all actually being displayed; plotting points instead of smooth curve would show better how many points (samples) are on the graph, or just look at a raw data capture file of (say) 2 seconds and see how many samples are in that. That way it can be determined if the problem is at the front end or back end (the display). It would help for you to post a (small) data capture file.

    Also try stuffing this data capture onto your display code; it should look like good ECG data.

    int32_t SampleData[] = {
        // 10 seconds at 250 samples/sec from ECG Simulator
