But to those out there that think this is a solution to set and walk away automation, think again..........

https://www.arduino.cc is THE place to start. From there, it is google and your imagination.
If you buy additional hardware from places like http://www.sparkfun.com, they usually have a tutorial with examples on how to make it work.
If you have any specific questions about this code, feel free to ask.

CPLD???? :wtf:
A complex programmable logic device (CPLD) is a programmable logic device with complexity between that of PALs and FPGAs, and architectural features of both. The main building block of the CPLD is a macrocell, which contains logic implementing disjunctive normal form expressions and more specialized logic operations.

Worth giving a go before going down the more expensive stepper motor needle valve path in my view.
