I'm also really interested on learning how to get "real world" data in and out of PD, via the USB port. Sensors, LED lights, etc etc. I see a lot of conversation about stuff like Arduino, but have no clue what people are talking about mostly.
I'd really like to know the simplest way to get started. I've never soldered anything or messed with hardware, so in some ways it might be nice to pay a little more for something that works "out of the box" and plugs into USB, then to build some kind of kit. I don't know what a minimum cost for something like this would be.
Once I had things working with the pre-built stuff, I could move on to building my own DIY versions.

if there is interrest, i can do a quick schematic of that.
There indeed is! I'm very exited about the any inside on how to use my USB port to control "things".
As a matter of fact, i also need a CV source to calibrate a newly made VCO. So i guess a device can be made, such that it can do that and loads of other things too - like, replacing a MIDI-to-CV module, control circuit bended toys, ... I understand there might be conflicting design cretirias, but the idea, the basic idea must be the same. (insert big happy face here)
If you got the time, that is.
