Hi
As the last post said you will need some type of analog to digital conversion.

After that you want to record the minimum and maximum value that the sensor reports; and those are the values that you will use.
Also for the PID you need to develop a command for the motors based on the distance reported by the sensor so you will probably want to calibrate it so you know what the values from the sensor mean.
