Check out some Arduino tutorials online. It's a very easy programming language, and if you're not able to work with electronics at all, the wiring and components will make intuitive sense.

It's definitely a time-suck for larger projects. "I'll just troubleshoot this one last thing" becomes "oh fuck, it's 5am" in a hurry.

Sadly, this is very true.

Raspberry Pi is a cool machine, I just have been doing Arduino so long, it's hard to really get too excited about it. A friend of mine just got a contract to write an rpi book, so we'll see if he comes up with anything good.

You are the first person to ever figure out what that was for, wow. This is what I ended up building from that setup:

Sold pretty well on Craigslist, which is good, considering the haul I just posted was close to $2k.
