    print(f"Got {len(scan.distances)} distance points")
    print(f"Area: {scan.safety.area_number}, Error: {scan.safety.error_detected}")

    # Continuous scanning
    with sensor.iter_distance() as stream:
        for scan in stream:
            print(scan.distances[540])  # Front-center distance
