Arduino is VERY easy to pick up, especially if you have even minimal C+ programming skills. I've made several gadgets using them, including a touch screen controller for my saltwater aquarium. It reads temps, adjusts heating, sets light times and even controls an LED strip to mimic the current moon phase. Cost me less than $150.
You can pretty much do anything with them, which is awesome for a $30 "toy"

I recently got into it. For my 1st project I used an Arduino UNO, a water bowl, a float switch, and a 12v solenoid valve to make an auto watermatic bowl for my dog. The end goal is to use a $5 wifi adapter to enable remote control/monitoring of the bowl. I know it's not practical at all but I needed some excuse to get into it and didn't want to just follow a ready-made tutorial.
