Hi Tom, PIC's are probably ideal for this. They are simple multifunction devices usually with a 8-10 bit A/D some digital IO etc and require no external components other than a power supply. Internal oscillator provided. Just need to have suiible signal conditioning for the A/D range and to buffer any in/out as needed for the app. RS232 port or USB as well on them. If you need any help, we have programmers for PICs here, although the basic ones are cheap anyway.
