Splicing which wire to which? #3

Hi there sorry it's me again. I bought the wires you had recommended, but when I went to splice the audio cable (3.5mm) there were 3 wires: red, white, and yellow. Which ones had you spliced into the red and black wires you have in the image?

Thanks for the clarity :)

Strange... the 3.5mm cable I purchased only had 2 leads.

I would try it with red to red and white to black. yellow probably isn't what you want, but test it out before you wrap everything shut with electrical tape.

Let me know what happens - sorry about the confusion !

Hi, I'm also having a similar problem: I have 4 wires inside the cable: red, orange, blue and green. What do you suggest me to do?

Hi, I solved my problem buying this: I connect my electrodes to one end, and this to the other end. Then I connect to the last one the two wires that go to GND and A2 of Arduino.
