The 50 ms period _IS_ the startup time of the GP2D12 itself, and the time
interval between two distance measurements. See oscilloscope trace (top of

If I remember right the 50ms, is the charge time required for the cap to get
to power to activate the gp2d12, not for it to actually startup and take a
reading.  Am I correct in that?
