Which kind of controller are you thinking about? there is a good resource about sensors on http://itp.nyu.edu/physcomp/sensors/Reports/Reports, the arduino forum will answer questions http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl and if you want to start reading then check out phsysical computing book by tom igoe http://itp.nyu.edu/~dbo3/physical/physical.html. physical computing is the term under which microcontroller/electronic hacking runs in new york (I heard that these words don't mean much to anybody else). and you can also ask on the pd list (but be a little bit more specific... marius.

Hello Hans, I am sending this to the list as others might be interested.
I am curious about where to start in designing and building a controller. I have an idea for what I would like to do, but there doesn't seem to be any similar boards on the Arduino cite.
Could you recommend a mailing list or some other group that might provide some info for a "newbie"?
Thanks,
Mike
