We addressed a topic that will be very useful for most of the media projects that you'll want to implement. The Chipsee expansion board lets you create an interactive object to watch videos, play some games, program in different languages, establish network and industrial communications, and many more.

What is important to note here is that this is a good platform for creative minds. It means that you can use these hardware capabilities for your own software, such as house management, media, server, and so on. In addition, I hope that you have now understood that the time you've spent to learn the command line and the Linux system from the previous chapters have been useful here. This knowledge can be reused for your next projects, embedded or not. This is the most important thing: to learn once and then deploy multiple times.

From the BeagleBone market place, the Chipsee expansion board is just one item among many capes; you should regularly visit the capes store for new boards. These choices let you have many different combinations to be experimented with. Imagine that we were playing with a single BeagleBone and now this configuration can be a part of a network of multiple BeagleBones, each one equipped with a different cape using sensors/actuators, thus allowing you to have wider projects.

We will now abandon the hardware part of this book and continue on our journey of creativity by taking a look at the software side of the journey in the same spirit. In the end, you can have your own software.
