Infrared Sensor Data for Hal

I’m using an infrared range sensor for the real life Hal. The Sharp GP2Y0A02YK0F - Infrared Proximity Sensor Long Range -

While testing his motions, I was noticing some pretty erratic behavior, so I decided to collect some data on the sensor values on a fixed object, while Hal was not moving.

This is a graph of about a minute of Hal moving the sensor from 45 to 135 degress in front of him and then taking a reading when the motion of the sensor stops. It’s at a wall, at a slight angle so the graph lines aren’t on top of each other at about 45 centimeters away.
