Cool!  What sort of results were you getting?  I know it's a non-linear 
response, but did the sensor behave as expected?

Well, I already configured the dsPIC to run 4 ADC inputs.  Three are for 
the table edge detectors (measuring the voltage across a phototransistor).  
The fourth channel is intended for the range sensor, so I just have to wire 
it up and I will start seeing real data.  I have the UART working, so I can 
output the results to a PC throught the serial port.

That's when I have the time to do it...
