Hi all,

I'm reading an analog signal from a Sharp IR sensor (GP2Y0A02YK) into
my microcontroller. I have a few question I was hoping someone could
answer:

The values I get back from the sensor range from about 700-840
depending on distance. However, once in a while I will get a value of
1023. I'm wondering is this a problem with my code (i.e. I'm reading
the values too fast) or is it just something to expect from the sensor.
I'm hoping it's software, but if not I can always just feed it through
a low-pass filter.

Thanks in advance,
-weg
