Although I have not built Polaris's project I do program various arduino boards and can tell you what you need to do.
If the arduino board you decide to use does not have the USB adapter built in, then you need an FTDI card that connects between your computer and the arduino. ~$15.
1) download the arduino IDE softwars onto your computer. Free
2) create a new project and copy paste the supplied code into it
3) Select the arduino board type in the software and compile/load the software onto the arduino.
Thats it.....easy peasey!
Wire it up and test it. You can reload and modify to yours hearts content.
The arduino is probably $15 each from a US source plus I think you will need one ftdi board which will work on most arduinos with or without the onboard usb .
if anyone needs help I can assist. I think I'd like to make one as well.
