Could it be noise getting into the analog power supply? If you're switching
between brake and full power with the motor ports, it seems possible that some
spikes could get through to the A/D converter. You might be able to test this
by commenting out the motor drive commands and then looking at your sensor log.
If this is the case, then you'd want to try and make sure the A/D conversion
period doesn't overlap any motor commands that would cause transients.
HTH,
Mark
