I am completely new to this Arduino stuff and am awaiting my very first Uno. Is the programming language any more difficult to learn than Python? In fact, can Python be used with Arduino. I do have the Raspberry Pi 2 which I am wading through very slowly.
Any help and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

You can't use Python, the Arduino IDE is based on C++. But if you know Python it's not that hard to learn.
But tip for the future, Google your question first
The main philosophical difference from Python is that C++ requires you to declare the type of a variable before you can use it.
This Python - Arduino demo illustrates both sides.
