edit: it looks like that board has a GPIO input-output header. If so then the possibilities are endless. Temperature sensors, proximity sensors, HAL effect sensors, piezos for door chimes... Run it through a relay to turn on amplifiers, lights, fans. Pretty much anything you can imagine. I have a raspberry pi that has just been sitting, I think I need to dig it out!
