You'll likely find the Arduino hardware easier to start with.

The Arduino boards use the Atmel ATMega AVR processor family, the same type as the Cougar. You won't need most of the hardware on the Cougar board, and the Cougar firmware will run on any of the Arduino boards with only a few minor changes.

The bonus is that there are many plug-in "shield" and "module" boards for Arduino cards, so you can often do projects just plugging them in rather than doing modules.
