first you need to earn how to program in one or more languages. the one that is used in allot in hardware control is "C" which has various free compilers including one called visual C by microsoft. there's also open source versions such as "processing" which is used by the arduino. you should do some research before getting into programming as it is often quite an undertaking to learn a programming languige without any base.
