Intel Edison and Arduino Breakout Kit

The Intel Edison is an ultra-small computing platform that will change the way you look at embedded electronics. Each Edison is packed with a huge amount of technology into a tiny package while still providing the robust strength of a single board computer. Powered by the Intel Atom SoC dual-core CPU, it includes integrated WiFi, Bluetooth LE, and a 70-pin connector to attach a variety of shield-like "Blocks" that can be stacked on top of each other. It’s no wonder this little device is lowering the barrier of entry into the world of electronics!

The Intel Edison packs a robust set of features into its small size, delivering great performance, durability, and a broad spectrum of I/O and software support. These versatile features help meet the needs of makers, inventors, and beginners. This module has a high-speed processor with WiFi and Bluetooth radios on board. Its low power consumption and small footprint make it ideal for projects that require significant processing power but lack access to a larger power source or space.

This kit also includes an Arduino Breakout, which gives your Edison the ability to interface with Arduino shields or any board with the Arduino footprint. Digital pins 0 to 13 (and the adjacent AREF and GND pins), analog inputs 0 to 5, the power header, ICSP header, and the UART port pins (0 and 1) are all in the same locations as on the Arduino Uno R3 (Arduino 1.0 pinout). Additionally, the Intel Edison Arduino Breakout includes a micro SD card connector, a micro USB device port connected to UART2, and a combination micro USB device connector and dedicated standard size USB 2.0 host Type-A connector (selectable via a mechanical microswitch). While this kit won’t turn your Edison into an Arduino itself, you will gain access to the Arduino’s shield library and resources!
