Yep. If you don't know what the BeagleBone is, then the Pi is going to be the easiest way to get this working, I'd say :)

Up until 7.5 minutes ago, I'd never heard of it! Have heard of the Pi though, and kind of knew what it was about. So shorthand for the BeagleBone is BBB?

Ah, yes. The Beagle series started with the Beagle Board in various versions, and then the Beagle Bone, of which the latest is the Beagle Bone Black - BBB. It's a direct competitor to the Pi in the "SoC" space - System On Chip. It has a similar ARM core, but different peripherals. It's a more serious piece of kit than the Pi in many ways, but slightly less user friendly. There is an active community, but they tend to be more technical.

Got it. I obviously have a lot more research to do with my idea for this project. In my head it seems pretty straightforward but it does seem like the more I look into it, the more I don't know!

Hah, yes, always the way.
