I'm trying to get this soil moisture sensor to work but am getting much lower output voltages than stated in the product specification.

I am using a Raspberry pi 3 and the following ADC (https://www.ereshop.com/shop/index.php? ... f47e666bf8) over I2C. When I read the sensor I get the following values:

In Water: 153 Raw Value, 24.1mv
In Air: 175 Raw Value, 28.1mv

I've followed the wiring diagram and can see no issues. Can anyone help me workout whats going wrong?
