First hiccup I encountered was that the Arduino software doesn't run out of the box on an AMD64 platform (i.e. my desktop). Thankfully Tero Karvinen has a quick HOWTO on making the Arduino IDE run on an AMD64.
Got through the "Hello World" equivalent for Arduino, i.e. make an LED flash. Next on my list was getting the servomotor to move. As luck would have it there's a presentation from ITP on the very subject: class 3 (communication, servos, and pwm).
