Thanks Ray! I’ll probably take you up on your offer after the new year.
I haven’t fully planned out my project yet, but I was thinking of an LCD cape like this one https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12085 It has several conflicting pins though. It would be nice to be able to walk up to my controller interact with it directly. I was also thinking about using an XBee to hook up some moisture sensors. I’d probably use the proto board http://www.adafruit.com/products/572 that I’ve got to hook it up to the BBB. I really like the idea I found here for the remote end:
