Section 4.1 SHARP distance sensors

Connect the red wire to 5V ("VIN" on the ESP32)
Connect the black wire to ground
Connect the signal wire (yellow) to any analog input pin

from machine import Pin, ADC

# This can be connected to any of the analog-capable input pins
distancesensor = ADC(Pin(35))

# The ADC reads 0-1V by default, but the SHARP IR sensor returns
# a voltage between 0 and 2.5V-ish.  Configure the internal voltage
# divider so that we can read 0 to 2.5V.
distancesensor.atten(ADC.ATTN_11DB)

# Get a single reading from the sensor
raw = distancesensor.read()

# You can use this directly, or look at the sensor datasheet
# to see how to convert it to an actual distance
