== Summary ==
Reflective optical distance sensors from Sharp (GP2Y0A series).  
Measures distance with analog output and supports selectable sensor types and units.  

== Description ==
The Sharp Reflective Optical Distance Meter provides distance measurements using an infrared emitter and phototransistor.  
It supports multiple sensor types including GP2Y0A02YK0F, GP2Y0A21YK0F, GP2Y0A710K0F, GP2YA41SK0F, and GP2Y0A51SK0F.  
Distance readings can be output in centimeters or inches, and an optional voltage reference can be enabled for calibration.
