I second that, arduino will do! But if you want to built an "pd-independent" device, you can use OSC in arduino - although much harder than simply reading values with pduino - some guys already posted code for sending OSC messages from arduino devices [1], so then you can plug it to whatever you want: pd, ardour, osc-to-midi apps, processing, supercollider :D
