 Note that the last 4 pins match up exactly with the standard 4 pin connector above, but there's the extra 5v power pin to the outside of the ground pin.

+This sensor is useful for distances from  about 50mm to 1200mm.  We're planning to use it to detect distance from the robot to the cargo hatch placement sites on the field.
+It runs directly on 3.3v power, so no need for funny business there.  We just need to adapt it to the standard i2c pinout by ignoring the pins we don't need, and putting the rest in the right order.

 In addition, there's a yellow LED that indicates presence of 3.3v power - proper connection to the 4-pin rio connector.
