Mike, you might be interested in (the (ongoing development of) the eLua 
project. While you may not need an embedded solution, they have put 
together a set of primitive sensor-like devices.

Actually, most of the talk I've seen has been on the quite active 
mailing list and it seems to contain more than what has been posted to 
the site. Also, beware that the current release is GPL. They have 
mentioned a possible switch of licenses.

I have provided a Lua interface to scientific code in the past with 
modest success. But that was aimed at programmers, so it is not as 
helpful for you.

Let us know what you come up with. Good luck!

Doug
