Re: Analog Sensors Returning Incorrect Voltages
Remember that the analog voltage is just proportional to the distance. Does it change with distance to the sensor?

I am assuming you are using the LV series sensor and have read the datasheet and the application notes for the sensor (I know because we screwed up at first too).

Enjoy!
