If this is right why cant you use a micro controller (say a pic from microchip) and use that, many cheap (under $3) micro controllers can easily take in and put out 9v. By doing this it would be very easy to write any kind of function, including ramp up functions because you can program it in C or another high level language.
As for what language the boards are using, the schematic posted has an atmel board which can be programmed in pretty much any common language but most easily in basic. As a note to the person above, there really isn't a language that would qualify as a simple form of basic that would be practical at all. Many microcontrollers are programmed in assembly(the machine code you get when c compiles)
There is no need to build a 555 timer because you can buy one, cheap, besides the fact that nearly every microcontroller has one built in.

i say simplified because it doesnt have the same number of possible I/O commands for the most part....
Ive never seen a sutiably low power draw chip that could be programed in any C based language, but im not an expert on the field either.
