So, I have two analog inputs, on separate circuits, one should read 10 and the other 34, but they are both coming up as 22? 

Code:
int loadcell;
int battery;

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
loadcell = analogRead(0);
battery = analogRead(1);
Serial.print(loadcell);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.println(battery);
delay(100);
}

????? Help ???

Thanks, Ryan

Diagram?

Wiring schematic would be helpful. But take a digital multimeter and measure the voltages at analog pins 0 and 1 and see what readings you get at that point independent of your program.

Checked with a multimeter, voltages are what they should be.  I dont know why the Serial monitor is showing them as averaged...  The diagram is real complex, not sure how I'd post it.  It has three batteries, a load cell, amplifier, and LEDs.  But the battery and loadcell are on totally different circuits.

Well the output impedance of the signals (if too high) you are reading could be a factor, and if not that then your sketch is mangling the values before sending them out to the serial monitor.
So without wiring diagram and sketch code help will be just guessing.

help!!

Analogports are A0 iso 0 and A1 iso 1

give this a try. Be aware that analog reads fluctuate ...

Code:

int loadcell;
int battery;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  loadcell = analogRead(A0);
  battery = analogRead(A1);
  Serial.print(loadcell);
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.println(battery);
  delay(100);
}

Try this:-

Code:

void loop()
{
loadcell = analogRead(0);
loadcell = analogRead(0);
battery = analogRead(1);
battery = analogRead(1);
Serial.print(loadcell);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.println(battery);
delay(100);
}

It will help if the impedance of each input is too high.
