You'll most likely want to look at using the Cypress board. It has a number of digital inputs that would be perfect for what you're doing here. I'm not so sure on how to program it, as I'm not a coder myself, but I can tell you it's really easy to wire and set up with the driver station, and our programmer has told me that the programming for it is quite simple. If I recall it should have a disc with it that should help with coding for it. I also seem to remember being told that the driver station sees the digital inputs by default anyway, and I think he was simply programming in Labview for the inputs the computer was recognizing as coming from the board
