I've recently been working on a tty (serial) connection for R (the GNU statistical programming language http://www.r-project.org). The patch I'm working on (see my post here http://biostatmatt.com/archives/112 allows the user to make a connection to a serial port via the POSIX (Linux, Mac OS X) tty interface. This means that we can use R to control and collect data from devices that have a UART, like a microcontroller (Arduino!).

Also, I am now contributing R related blog posts to R-Bloggers, which is an aggregator for this type of material. If you are into R, check it out!
