Thanks for sharing our tutorial Adafruit! There’s plenty more where that came from on Inspire. Here are a just a few of the new things we’ve recently added to Inspire and a quick look at what we have on tap (hint, it involves robots) – http://www.logicsupply.com/blog/2014/07/29/whats-new-inspire-latest-beaglebone-black-projects/
