Noobie Hello

Hey All,
First time here and new to arduino. I am looking for guidance on a starter kit with a final goal of developing a rocket (hobby) launch controller. It will have inputs/outputs, touch screen and Hopefully connect (bluetooth) to smart phone for launch button.
I have a strong background in building automation but no experience in c++ programming. Always have a thirst for knowledge and figured this would be a good challenge.

Damn...wrong spot...Mods please move.

Hello Jeff. Move to where?

All are fairly straight forward to implement. Pick one hardware type and jump in, add more hardware types as you go.

As to a starter kit - check out the kits at www.yourduino.com.
Not sure about the Bluetooth, might want to look at the modules adafruit.com offers.
