It uses C/C++, the Arduino is a bit odd but I think that is because
I'm not used to it. A lot seems to be hidden. I'll be using the PIC32
(Chipkit and PIC32-Pinguino) in a short time. At the moment I'm trying
to figure out the read (does it wait or doesn't it?). They say one thing
my test code says another.

I haven't really ventured into the C++ yet.

And to the gentleman who is going to write the scripts: I'd be interested
and willing to test as well. I'm running both 023 (well I installed it)
and 1.0 (which I'm using) for the Arduinos. I'm just trying to make sure
I have a stable base to work with before bending it.

Thanks
