Use a 51ohm resistor (standard 1% E24 value) instead of a 250ohm resistor.
And Arduino's internal 1.1volt Aref instead ot the potentially unstable default Aref.
You might also want to add protection and filtering (see diagram).
Leo..
const int sensorPin = A0;
int sensorValue;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
analogReference(INTERNAL);
}
void loop() {
sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
Serial.print("Reading: ");
Serial.println(sensorValue);
delay(1000);
}
