Hi,

I'm new here and not a computer expert so i hope this is the right place.
I'd like to know how hard it would be to make a software program or control unit that can:

Read a sensor input > follow a predetermined reaction map > activated a actuator.
Preferably something small and stand alone like a micro chip on a small circuit board.

Can any one give me more info on how this could be done and what would be needed?

Usually you will use a C compiler designed for your micro chip, and use it to send signals to the various other devices, as specified in their documentation. The details and difficulty, of course, depend on the specific devices.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.
