	Sensor should be connected to one of the analog ports
	
	Variables:
		int raw_value : raw value from the sensor
		int distance : distance in cm
		int max_distance : maximum measurable distance (in cm)
		int min_distance : minimum measurable distance (in cm)
	
	Methods:
		init(int analogPort) : Initialization of sensor
		read() : read value from analog port and returns the distance (in cm)
