Once again i haven’t updated for a bit but have no fear the project has not died.
Apart from my oscilloscope being phut which has meant i cant do any of the analogue system design, I have been looking over the options for embedded processing and you can see the range i have been looking at here
For what is required for this project the Altera Cyclone might be a bit overkill and in fact it looks as if the old PIC in assembly might be best option. However expect more woderfulll things to be built around some of these technologies.

Go one better, synthesize the PIC on the cyclone!

If it had the capability to do a mixed signal design i might consider writing a processor for this project but the requirement for an ADC makes this the wrong bit of configurable logic for the task in hand.
A more interesting question is has there ever been a sex toy built around an FPGA?
