What is the easyest way to interface a Poloroid ranging board to the handyboard? I know that the expansion board is supposed to have this feature built right in but I can't wait to get it.

I'm forwarding this to our team member that has most of the documentation at the moment.

(...) I don't have the schematics with me. If I remember right (James correct me if I am wrong!) we are talking two different inputs. The 5V INIT is just the trigger signal from Handyboard, but the 5Vdc POWER for the transmitter components comes on (...) (28 years ago, 12-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
