All we will have to do to connect it to the HandyBoard are the wiring steps
laid out on the official HandyBoard page, correct? Hopefully?

Yup. Works great. However, you may want to use the attached version of the sonar sampling code in place of the code found on the HB web site. The only real difference is that this version takes three readings in rapid succession and then returns the median value. This results in much more accurate distance measurements.
