You don't need the readData stuff?  Really?  If you don't put that in 
then I assume the sensor just reads at some default frequency?

I have not yet been able to try runThreaded(-1, -1) as you suggest, but 
what I have found is that there appears to be some race conditions.  If 
I sleep for 500 milliseconds after si.readData() then the readings are 
sanet.  I would have expected readData() to block until it put something 
sensible in the range data, but perhaps that's not done for a reason.  
I'll try your suggestion tonight to see if I can get rid of my hack.

Thanks for your response,

Shane
