Connecting to the 2-axis joystick (#27800)

I'm having trouble getting reliable readings from the joystick using the diagrams and spin code on the kick start page (http://learn.parallax.com/KickStart/27800). The serial terminal either fills up with 'UD = 0, LD = 0' or shows nothing. The only reading I've been able to get is when I push the joystick down and this occurs once out of every 12 tries. If I do get something from the joystick, its a 7-9 digit number. I was able to get better results by plugging L/R+ and U/D+ into 3.3v or 5v but I still could not get readings when I pushed the joystick up or left.

Any one have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
