It seems the advantage is you don't have to worry about the control line,
the gp2d12 does it all, alleviating the need for the interrupt routines...

I was looking at that this weekend. I am presently using 4 gp2d02's and am
about to order 2 more. the distance on these gp2d12's is no different and
I think one might have more control over the gp2d02 since you control the
digital output to it (correct me if I am wrong). Of course, if you do not
have that digital output available, then the gp2d12 might be better.

| (...) Yes, you are right. I choose gp2d12 mainly because - I have so many code to load to the board. With this, I don't need to load the .icb file that goes with the gp2d02, instead use the analog() commands directly to get the distance. But be sure (...)
