Re: Affordable home kits?
Arduino is very easy to get used to and learn. Tons of peripherals for it too.

EDIT: You can buy Arduino clones on ebay for a fraction of the name-brand price; $15 for a "Funduino" Mega as opposed to $50 retail for an actual Arduino.
I highly recommend the Mega. If you go with a clone it's only a couple bucks more, and the extra pins are really worth it.
