Grove GSR Sensor doesn't sense resistance on the arm

Dear Grove-Team,

I have bought GSR-sensors:
http://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Grove-GSR_Sensor/

That work perfectly fine on the fingers. However, for a DIY project, I would like to measure the resistance on my arm. Thus, I’ve just connected two electrodes that are distanced 5mm on a wearable textile to the Grove PCB. The PCB cannot sense any variation in the resistance of my arm. I am sure it’s due to the high resistance (>50MOhm), as measured with a multimeter.

Is there a way to measure such high resistances? I believe with over 50MOhm, there’s simply no way anymore since probably 100MOhm is the absolute maximum.

Thank you!

Hi @Markovicz0190,
In the Grove GSR-sensor, we are measuring the
Human Resistance = ((1024+2*Serial_Port_Reading)*10000)/(512 Serial_Port_Reading)
