This kit is a development platform that combines the compact Intel Edison compute module with an expansion board that's compatible with Arduino Uno R3 shields. It's designed for rapid prototyping and developing Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Key Features and Components
The Intel Edison module itself is a powerful, tiny computer that includes a dual-core Intel Atom CPU and an integrated microcontroller, along with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.The "Arduino" part of the name refers to the included expansion board. This board breaks out the Edison's I/O pins into the familiar Arduino footprint, allowing you to use a wide variety of existing Arduino shields for sensors, displays, motor drivers, and other components. It also provides an external power jack and micro-USB ports for power and programming.
The "Standard Power On Board Antenna" part of the name indicates that this specific version of the kit has a standard onboard antenna for its wireless connectivity, differentiating it from versions that might have an external antenna connector. This is a crucial detail for ensuring reliable wireless communication in your projects.
