Exactly what does "swing wildly" mean?  There is quite a bit of noise
when using the on-chip A/D converter on the BeagleBone, but for me it
works out to around one degree Centigrade or so of noise.  If you're
seeing significantly more than that, check your wiring.  Make sure all
connections are solid, route the thermistor wires (which should be
twisted to reduce noise pickup) away from the heater and motor wires, etc.

Alternately, you could use the TI ADC that Bas has provisions for on the
BeBoPr (see his github wiki for details).  I haven't tried this myself,
but I have the kernel modules available and it is reported to work quit
well.
