It can be done 10,000 ways but we settled on an Arduino looking at pins on the Digital Side Car. We put the range finder software in the Arduino (could be otherwise but we were out of analog pins on the CRIO). So the CRIO wiggles pins to tell the Arduino to sync the count down and/or display the range data.
More info on this to come - part numbers, code, wiring diagrams, board layouts (if you want to make a PCB -- you don't have to).
