"There are new drivers and a wiring diagram for using the Polaroid
6500 sonar ranging module with the Handy Board!!  Just visit the HB
home page:

Enjoy.  -Fred"

That said, the answer to this question is simply, get rid of the
6-long diode chain and connect the Polaroid's power source directly to
your motor battery.

We're planning to use the new Polaroid 6500 stuff on the Handyboard web page. We intend to use a six volt power source to drive our motors independently of the power source to the Handyboard itself (by cutting the appropriate trace on the board). (...)
