ADS1015: not properly reading negative values

Hi there,

So I have this ADS1015 hooked up to my Arduino, but it doesn't really work properly.

I'm measuring differentially, and when I'm measuring positive values, it works completely fine. No problems there.

However, problems start to arise when I want to measure negative values. Sometimes it measures value of about 1.6 volts just fine, but when you change the voltage in even the slightest way, it just stops measuring anything and returns nothing. It also seems to work fine around 400mv, and 5.1v. I have no clue what could be cousing this.

I have the Addres pin pulled to ground, i'm feeding it with 5V and I'm using A0 as the positive input and A1 as the negative input.

I'm using a lab bench power supply to supply different voltages, and my arduino is hooked up to a laptop which doesn't have it's charger plugged in, so it won't be shorted to ground.

I've included my code at the bottom of this post (taken from the Adafruit ADS1015 library example)

I'm looking forward to your suggestions,

Thanks in advance,

This is how I've wired everything. L_IO1 and LIO_2 can either be GND or +30V.

(the insert image option didn't work so I uploaded it somewhere else)
