I actually used this for a laboratory setup just recently, but I only
needed about 1% of accuracy. I bought a "Arduino Duemilanove" board
for *?25*. This includes a FDTI USB-to-serial and a Atmel AVR
microcontroller and is powered from USB. Their simple IDE speaks a
preprocessed version of C and it took me 5 minutes to have my
3-channel-analog-to-serial software done. You can also use your
conventional toolchain and just ignore their beginners' environment,
though.
