re: coding externals, this is a great book by eric lyon!
edit: nvm, you said free. still a good resource though!
If you just need 8 buttons and 8 knobs... ;)
I assume you meant build your own hardware though.
I've interfaced with an arduino for inputs and outputs in the past using the serial components in the comport library. Marginally more complicated than midi or osc communication because you have to manually tell pd e.g. which slider is sending the data as well as the data itself.
You can set up some microcontrollers to be recognized directly as usb-midi devices, I know the teensy is one of those, though I haven't used it myself.
Edit: Depending on how many knobs/slider you want, you'll also need this or similar to increase your analog inputs:

Andy Farnell's book, Designing Sound models combustion engines in pD. I believe he uses waveguides, not sure. You should be able to borrow a copy from the library.
You can find all the pD code examples from his book here. Look under machines and cars.
