I'm trying to use an Arduino board, and want to sample the GPS Module bitstream (with a baud of 4800 bits per second) at an interval of like 20us per sample.

I wonder how much I'm going to outlay in trying to configure an FPGA such that it will receive all 40000 to 50000 samples from the Arduino/GPS setup. Does a person need an IDE to work with FPGAs ??? How much do FPGAs cost, how much does an IDE cost?????
