I want to take 100 readings for measuring length of 3000 mm box beams. I'm only able to get 50 valid readings out of 100 readings taken. How do I solve this problem?

Someone on GitHub clocked this sensor at about 4 Hz  in practice. If you're polling faster than ~250 ms you're probably reading stale or invalid frames.

The wiki also mentions rough or dark surfaces can throw it off. Box beams are tricky — try a white paper target at the same distance. If the paper reads fine, it's the surface.
