A couple of suggestions : 1) Look at averaging your readings rather than reporting the raw value, as reporting the raw readings directly can give you a bit of a noise on the output, this can be done two ways, do a running average over the consecutive readings or each ...

Yes I wasn't happy, I have a feeling that campbell had knocked it when he plugged in his network cable to the Router, which is close by, I'm not sure, but I rebooted and all working.
