This is what has been thought of: a simple processor that still suppports A/D converters and USB. A good candidate appears to be PIC16C765 Cost is approx. 5 USD.
Using an ARM processor just to convert some samples per second into USB appears to be overkill to me on first though. But the PIC is just one of the options to considered. A drawback appears that the ADC resolution is just 8 bit. This is quite coarse for some sensors. 12 bit would be better...
So what we need:
PIC16C765 is a bad development platform, because it can only be programmed once (OTP).
There is also:
But for the same or a little more, you get much more with ARM (e.g. LPC2144, LPC2148).
