New Project: Suggestions for selecting the right board

Hi,
I have a ILI9328 (datasheet: http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/ILI9328.pdf) ,2 motion sensors, 10 gas sensors ( Figaro or FIS sensors). I need a board where I can connect all the above components to it. I also want the data from the sensors to get saved (I need a memory chip or card in it. I will progrma it myself)) and if possible wirelessly transmit the data to the nearby computer. Do you have any suggestions on what could be the best board that I can purchase from you?.

Note: I need a touchscreen LCD to enter details while I collect data. Do you have better suggestions for touchscreen LCD compared to the one I have mentioned above. Any LCD easier to use would be a good choice for me at this point.

Thanks,

-- Tharun

Hi, Looks like you will need an Arduino Mega, as the Gas Sensors (Taguchi Gas Sensors) have analog outputs. The Mega has 16 analog inputs and lots of Digital I/Os for your other stuff.

Take a look at the ArduinoInfo WIKI here - http://arduinoinfo.info
The MEGA info is here: http://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/MegaQuickRef

You might want to make easier cabling / connections with a Sensor Shield. See http://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/SensorShield
and scroll to bottom. There is cabling info there too. Mega1280 open source copies are about $30

What gases are you looking for??
