We have developed our own simple sensorboards which use the Atmel chip's ADC (channels 1-6). You basically just need to design your PCB and order some Hirose connectors. A piece of protoboard and a soldering iron is a good start....
Then you can write the TinyOS software --- I modeled mine after the software for the mda300, in CVS under tinyos-1.x/contrib/xbow/tos/sensorboards/mda300 the demonstration on how to use it is in tinyos-1.x/contrib/xbow/tos/apps/XSensorMDA300/ The difference is that your software would be much simpler, because you just interface to the ADCs, not through the I2C bus. So you can write a module that is a combination of IBADCM.nc and SamplerM.nc. We used PW1 though PW6 to excite each sensor. If you need more than 6 sensors, you will need to add an ADC to your board, and then I recommend you study and/or acquire the MDA300. Hope this helps, -Kim.
