Hi Nabisco,
I am a newbie myself, but since you havent got any replies i will try and give you an answer....(should be fairly true i hope!)
From what i know, any sensor should work with any microcontroller (ie its not like a mac program wont run on a PC).
All sensors usually output in one or the other common forms such as resistive output, analog voltage out, digital out, serial out etc etc
If you need more specific clarification you could post a link to the exact sensor/part you are talking about...
cya
