The term "Arduino" now covers a very wis range of computers at are all
programmed using the same easy to learn system. You can use the "uno" whig
is the standard 16Mhz AVR CPU or now you can swap in a "due" with is a much
faster processor.
But I doubt you would need a lot of CPU power as you are not re-computing
this at a fast rate. The "Slow" AVR chip executes 16 million instructions
per second. More than enough for what you want.
But I think yout would be more concerned with power. There are far better
chips that are just as easy to use.
This is why I am a fan of the Teensy3... It's a Freescale micro based on
ARM cortex, and fast, low power, etc.
However, I happened to have an Arduino sitting in front of me on the
table on Saturday when this started.
The computer you've got is better than the one you have to order and
wait for.
