## Registers

    ro distance: u16.16 m { typical_min=0.02, typical_max=4 } @ reading

Current distance from the object

    ro distance_error?: u16.16 m @ reading_error

Absolute error on the reading value.

    const min_range?: u16.16 m @ min_reading

Minimum measurable distance

    const max_range?: u16.16 m @ max_reading

Maximum measurable distance
