Thanks for all your replies. Graham's comparison between the various options was very helpful and has given me a few ideas. They all seem to have advantages one way or another. I'm now leaning towards purchasing either an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. I like the hardware options for the Arduino system.

My distant (late 1980s/early 1990s) programming experience goes back to when I was doing my Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree at Polytechnic. We started using PASCAL on the soon to be retired BBC B computers. Shortly after, we had some new IBM compatible machines with a 286 processor running Modula 2. Strangely, at the same time, the Communication Engineering course students were using 'C'. I often wondered why 'C' wasn't adopted on our course. I also previously had some experience with BBC BASIC which I always felt comfortable with.

Regards
Symon.
