GP2D02 driver affecting motor outputs?

I connect a motor to a motor output on my handyboard and it works fine. I start
running the program found here:
http://www.acroname.com/robotics/info/examples/GP2D02-2/GP2D02-2.html
The program continuously collects data from a GP2D02 sensor.  A motor that is
working before I start collecting data starts running at randomly changing
speeds. When I stop the data reading program, the motor runs normally again.
The sensor does work while this is happening. I guess that some system driving
the motors is getting messed up by the output that the board has to make to
drive the sensor, but I have no idea how to fix it.
(The only change I made to the code was renaming main() so I could call it
when I wanted to.)

any help is appreciated

Well, since I wrote it, I suppose I should fix it. I need a day or so. Gary Livick (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
