Analog in on OI: Heads Up!

It sounds like your setup looks like this:

 
         15k                   15k
+5v ---/\/\/\/\------+-------/\/\/\/\----- +5v
                    |
                    \
                    /
                    \ 560 ohm
                    /
                    \
                    |
                  Gnd

If this is the case, check the wiring diagram again on Page 5. This isn't the right way to connect to the analog inputs.

Thanks it's a case of Re RTM
