The distance sensor is analog and goes to the `MCU`'s `ADC`. It needs a 1/3rd [voltage divider resistor circuit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider#Resistive_divider), as the ESP8266's ADC only reads 0 to 1V:

- `DIST` `Vo` (yellow on JST) to `R1` to `MCU` `ADC`. `MCU` `ADC` to `R2` to `MCU` `Vin`.
- `DIST` `GND` (black) to `MCU` `GND`.
