Thanks Brian for the detailed answer.  Yes, it seems that it will be a tougher road than anticipated.  I may try initially with the with the board from OCT... I do have an engineering degree, just not in EE .  
If you ever develop a system to integrate with your chassis that would be killer.
Again, many thanks for your detailed answer and Happy New Year.
John
