A challenge

Your system has lots of capabilities. Feel free to play with the system—try to get an understanding of what is already there and what you'll want to add from a SW perspective. One advanced possibility is to connect the BeagleBone Black via a wireless LAN connection, so that you don't have to connect a HW connection when you want to communicate with it. There are several good tutorials on the Internet. Here is a place to start, http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack. If you have the desire, feel free to follow them to see if you can get a wireless LAN connection working.

Remember, there is limited power on your USB port, so make sure you have a powered USB hub before having a go. Usually you'll need a powered USB hub that can supply power greater than 1 amp.
