You can interface the Ranger to the HB directly without any problem. Look at the software contributions on the HB home Page undre ther directory of 'kent'.
Here you will find the IC aND assembler programs that will allow you to do this.
You will also find the necessary connections.
One thing that is a common question here is "What power source do I use?"
You can use the 5V bus of the HB. You should be able to draw power from anywhere on the 5V bus. It appears that the LM??? regulator of the HB can supply the surge 2.5 Amps needed. However, I'm not sure whether this will damage the LM??? in the long run. (???).

| (...) I found a number of good files here. We do need to sort them out though. We had a mish-mash of either incompletes or code for other boards. It looks like we'll be able to get it sorted out. By the way, we kept thinking IR sensors were cheapo, (...) (28 years ago, 12-Jan-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
