Wrong reading of transducer voltage

$

Equipment: Arduino UNO 3, Adafruit SD shield

Hi,

This is my first Arduino project and I am bit confused with the results I am getting.
I want to read the voltage from a transducer that is powered by the Arduino.

The transducer output is connected to Analog Pin 2.
My code is pretty simple:

analogread(A2) x 5/1023

However the reading I have is very different from what my multimeter is giving me.

Multimeter: -0.29V
Arduino: 0.00V

Is there something wrong with the grounding maybe?

Note:

  • the Arduino is powered by laptop USB
  • the transducer is powered by Arduino 5V and step up transformer

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best,
