I thought you solder the 4.7k resistor onto the controller board.
"If you solder a 4.7kOhm resistor to the Ultimaker PCB (R4 if you use TempSensor3 or R21 if you use TempSensor2) you can measure the temperature of the bed using a Thermistor more info. "

If I understand your asci schematic correctly, would this be the proper way to connect the temp sensor ?

Missing picture.You need to connect it this way:
+5v --> thermistor ----L---> 4.7k resistor ---> gnd
and you plug the L connector in the SIG.
The thermistor will then be a tension partitioner and will vary it's resistance when the temperature changes. By reading the tension between the thermistor and the resistor (in point L) you will be able to relate it to what temperature is being read.
So my issue was that I did not have a 2nd resistor in place.
One resistor goes on the Ultimaker PCB and the other spans between the thermistor terminal

Also this schematic

In the Jpg above R2 is soldered on the Ultimaker PCB and R1 needs to be an additional resistor.
I think the optional 4.7k resistor on the Ultimaker PCB actually IS the resistor you need to connect between the 'signal' and the ground. So with that resistor in place you just need to connect the thermistor between +5 and SIG.
If I look at this picture from you:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3IYX8i ... RMNWM/edit
then you have connected the thermistor between GND and VCC. Not sure where you got the pinout from, but on the board it clearly reads GND +5V SIG.
