The photo still doesn't help much... I'd like to see how the connector is mounted to the board and how the wires are then connected, but probably would have to be able to handle the actual object...
Anyway according to my layout, power should be coming off of one end of the connector and the pin 42 ADC input is about 1/3 of the way in from the power end. So the wires coming out of the top of the card seem to be in inappropriate locations. Here's my layout: http://www.etantdonnes.com/Motes/MicaBOB/micaBOB_layout.png per this: >> If you are able to read the sensor-board Photo/Temp on ADC1 >> then I think there must be a connection issue with your BOB. > > What? I do not understand what you mean. I meant that if you were successful in reading the sensor board, where the Photo/Temp input is on ADC1, then there must be something wrong with your break-out-board. Especially if you use the same mote program in both cases. Trying the whole thing again with a bare connector and getting your power directly from the battery to minimize connector diddling might help point you in the right direction.
