	The function of the 1101 is to regulate the power requirement of the connected sensor~~. Although the specified current consumption may be low for these types of sensors~~, ~~they may draw much more~~ current ~~for short periods of time during measurements. If two or more of these sensors are directly connected to the analog inputs of~~ the ~~HUB0000 (or {{CT\|HasAI\|compatible product}}), then it may potentially experience an overload~~.		The function of the 1101 is to regulate the power requirement of the connected Sharp distance sensor, smoothing out current spikes that could otherwise overwhelm the device measuring them.

	Make sure that the distance of the object being measured is within the distance range of the sensor. When the object is outside the valid sensor's distance range, the returned value should be discarded. You must be especially careful when the object is closer than it should be, as the returned value might be within the expected voltage range but is not meaningful. If the sensor is being used outdoors, be mindful that sunlight can cause interference, especially when the sunlight is entering at such an angle that it is within the sensor's cone of detection. The IR light from these sensors can pass through glass, but only if the glass is completely clear and the sensor is perpendicular and very close to the surface of the glass. Otherwise, too much IR light will be reflected for the sensor to work properly.		Make sure that the distance of the object being measured is within the distance range of the sensor.

	\text{Distance (cm)} = \frac{~~519~~}{(\text{~~Voltage~~} \~~times 50) + \frac{11}~~{4}}		\text{Distance (cm)} = \frac{2.076}{\text{VoltageRatio} - \text{0.011}}

	~~For digital distance sensors, the sensor voltage will be greater than 1V if the distance of the object being measured is less that the detection distance of the sensor~~. ~~Otherwise the voltage will be less than 1V~~.

	'''Note:''' The output of this sensor will vary from unit to unit, and based on the characteristics of the target (reflectance, size, direction of motion, object alignment, etc). Our formula is based on the data provided by Sharp. If you find that you are not getting good results with the standard formulas, you may want to derive your own formula to better characterize your situation.
