Hello Tristan, If you want a flexible multi-purpose board perhaps you want to include a DAC, and a high resolution ADC. Semiconductor relays for switching loads. It may also be useful to have extra UARTs, but for this you might prefer to use the 2560 instead of the 1284. If you want to connect RS232 devices you might add a TTL to RS232 level convertor such as a MAX232.
