Taking all you've said about your own experience level, this is sounding the most
results-getting direction yet. Does the bioboard have cost levels you can fit to your want?

Going with low performance Arduinos because they're easy,
yet not too too expensive, but more expensive than some,
sounds like a miss. If you try microchip you'd need to learn c programming
and reading long datasheets. If you try this ARM chip board from Olimex,
you could get a development method similar to arduino...not sure:
https://www.olimex.com/Products/Duino/STM32/OLIMEXINO-STM32/

The arduino-like development code comes from: http://leaflabs.com/docs/ http://leaflabs.com/devices/

(I've not tried it) but... it sounds useful... and you get access to rapid prototyping
shield hardware addons with sensors on them...
