I have 2 concerns about this:
- if this is ESP32-S3 specific, this will unnecessarily delay other HW
- if the issue is specific to UART (on ESP32-S3) rather than US-100, the fix should probably reside in CP itself

The delay only happens once, in the constructor. I could probably make this 2 msecs instead of 100 msecs. I can test that.
Yes, ESP32-S3 should be fixed. I am looking at that. But this makes the library more robust for any case like this where it might get out of sync. And it makes the library usable without having to upgrade CircuitPython.

That's a fair argument, esp. the second part.

adafruit/circuitpython#8887 and https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?t=208042, by @vladak, describe a problem caused by the ESP32-S3 reading a single junk byte when a
busio.UART()is first created.Prevent that problem by waiting long enough for the byte to appear, and then clearing out all the input bytes, so that
.distanceand.temperaturewill only read wanted bytes.Also fixes #18 by adding some documentation.
@vladak Could you test? This is like the workaround I gave you, so test without that.
