I was going to suggest CubLoc, but you said it first. Forum is somewhat underpopulated.

Could I also add: Arduino - a vast user base, very easy to program, does not prevent you from using the full power of C if necessary; (standard) AVR - though the forum is less receptive to beginner questions; finally PicAxe - very cheap, but somewhat slow. Also, there is Basic Stamp, about which I know nothing other than it exsts.
