You can’t have a two dimensional matrix to measure sensors like that because there is nothing stopping every thing shorting out, as you have found.You need to use cascaded wiring to get all your inputs to be separate.
Ok, thanks for the reply. I am unfamiliar with what Cascaded wiring is, and I cant seem to find an explanation about it online. If you could point me in the direction of where I can learn about it I would be very grateful.
