* Arduino IDE runs and uploads ok USB-connected Arduino with Raspbian "Wheezy"; just install via "apt-get install arduino".  For doing electronics directly on the Pi, WiringPi is a Python library which aims to make it as high-level as Arduino: https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/  If Python isn't appealing, then this eLinux article gives GPIO examples in many languages: http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals
