lacks physical compatibility that the JCX would have had (again, out of
the box... such connectors can be constructed, I know).  Further, and
more significantly, the analog sensor inputs on the Handbyboard are
3-pin... (+V, gnd, and sensor value), which isn't directly compatible
with LEGO active sensors which multiplex both voltage and sensor value
on 2 lines.

There's an Expansion Board for the Handyboard that provides 4 inputs for the
LEGO active sensors (light and rotation) on 2 lines besides 6 servo ouputs
and other good things.

It's not too difficult to cut the LEGO cables and attach the Handyboard
connectors if that's what putting you off.
