Arduino code and video for Sharp IR distance module

This is the Arduino code and video for Sharp Infrared Sensor Module

This video shows you how to measure the distance between 4cm to 180cm depending on the module, using Arduino. Sharp Analog output modules:

2 to 15 cm GP2Y0A51SK0F
4 to 30 cm GP2Y0A41SK0F / GP2Y0AF30 series
10 to 80 cm GP2Y0A21YK0F
10 to 150 cm GP2Y0A60SZLF
20 to 150 cm GP2Y0A02YK0F
100 to 550 cm GP2Y0A710K0F
