I hope this is not OT - and if it is - sorry.
I recently started "playing" with controlling simple devices using the
PI GPIO pins - trivial things like controlling a LED or servo.
I want to experiment with some analog sensors - temperature, magnetic,
etc. There are several kits available, but fro

Hi, I also think like Json.
For the first time you play with an arduino, use a board that has:

2. pre-soldered connectors
3. use standard arduino connector arrangement (like in the arduino uno)
For example:
