Once you have an ARMmite Pro Eval kit, you can use as many of these as you need at $29 each. The ARMmite Pro is Arduino compatible 60 MHz ARM7 32 bit processing at its simplest. Use the BASIC that supports the I/O or the pre-configured C compiler.
Less than a half ounce and powered by just about anything, including the serial connection.

Featuring 21 TTL compatible digital I/Os shared with 7 10-bit A/D pins and an easy-to-use USB interface, you can be up and running in no time. Pin compatible with the Arduino PRO. The BASIC compiler is easy to learn. Or now use the pre-configured C compiler.
Unleash the power of a 32 bit processor, running at 60 MHz to solve your control problem. Save time with built in support for PWM, SPI, 1-Wire, I2C, Pulse timing, Synchronous and Asynchronous serial protocols.
