well if you're just getting into this, Arduino is a great way to go.

It has two ways of programming, a simple but somewhat limited way,
and a much more complex and capable way.

Also know that there are pre-written and pre-tested code libraries that you can use.

Also, it is common practice to post your project on the web, just like Daox did, with the code available to other people.

So, there are people all over the planet working with this stuff, and the code that is available is growing every day.

And, taking the PID example, PID can be used in very many ways. And with 80,000 projects (many of them will be bad Google hits), there is a very high likelihood that someone else tackled a project just like you want to do, and you don't have to re-invent the wheel.
