Q: How do I create new modules for Benson?
A: Check out the module tutorial for information about creating modules.

Q: Can Benson control more than a LED?
A: Of course! The Arduino sketch provided in this project was directly copied from the Udoo Android tutorial in order to demonstrate basic GPIO handling via the Android ADK. Benson can control anything that the Arduino DUE can operate.
