First, I appologize because this is probably not an 'issue' with your library... but I'm looking for some help.

I'm using the GP2Y0A21YK sensor with your library. The example gives an output like below, but...
During these couple of seconds I did not touch anything. This same pattern comes back over and over again, even though the sensor input does not change - it's just pointing at a white wall.

Now, when I first connected the sensor I accidentally switched +5V and GND, maybe for a minute. I felt the sensor got hot and fixed the mistake.

Should I conclude the sensor is broken?

Many thanks for some advice!

Hi! thanks for your work! I want to use the distance sensor from sharp gp2y0a51sk0f (2-15cm)
As I am quite new to this stuff, what exactly do I need to change?
Thanks & best!

Pass analog port in constructor or 'getDistanceCentimeter'?
Re-use the same code for each sensor? (is this worth the effort)
