These sort of applications are ideal for PIC chips, simple to use, require

What about something like the RABBIT Microprocessor modules? Wouldn't
that be the easy way? Could I program something like that in C?

Also does someone make some kind of IC chip that takes say 3 bit binary
number for input on 3 pins and then makes one of 8 output pins go high
based on the input binary number?
