You should try out the BeagleBone Black version, you can add a LOT more sensors to it, AND you can attach a small multi-line screen to it. You can also connect a full touch screen system to it, and track all that information right onboard. If you have the web design experience, you can also just get a nice fancy UI loaded into a default web app display like dolphin instead of the full window system. This way it’s locked into one single “web page” on the local BBB.
you’ve giving me some good ideas.
