\n Explore the world of the small but powerful Intel Edison board!\n <\/h2>\n \n \n
\n Already heard of the Intel Edison board? This new platform is a full-fledged computer\n \n no bigger than an SD card\n <\/strong>\n ! It therefore offers great potential for all your\n \n wearable creations\n <\/strong>\n (e-textiles) and your projects involving the\n \n Internet of Things\n <\/strong>\n (IoT)!\n <\/p>\n \n \n
\n Extremely powerful and ultra-compact, it includes a\n \n WiFi\n <\/strong>\n module and a\n \n Bluetooth\n <\/strong>\n module as well as a\n \n 70-pin connector\n <\/strong>\n .\n \n The Intel Edison board is an ultra-comprehensive and powerful mini IT platform that will allow you to work on all your IoT inventions even more effectively than on an Arduino or\n \n Raspberry Pi\n <\/a>\n platform.\n <\/p>\n \n \n

\n Very small, it can be easily slipped into a pocket, wallet, garment or any other everyday object.\n <\/p>\n \n \n
\n Use and connections\u2026\n <\/h2>\n \n \n
\n An\n \n ingenious system of \u201cblocks\u201d, designed to be stacked\n <\/strong>\n on the Edison board like the shields on an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi, means you can easily increase its interaction and operating capacities (\u201cinertial measurement unit\u201d block, \u201cPWM\u201d block to control servomotors, \u201cdual H-Bridge\u201d block, \u201cpower\u201d block, \u201cdisplay\u201d block, \u201cArduino\u201d block, etc.).\n <\/p>\n \n \n

\n To use the Intel Edison board to its full potential you\u2019ll need a\n \n development board\n <\/strong>\n , which will provide the\n \n connectivity\n <\/strong>\n needed to link it to the sensors and modules needed for your projects.\n <\/p>\n \n \n
\n You have several choices, depending on what you want to do with your Intel Edison board:\n <\/p>\n \n \n
\n \n
\n The Arduino development board, which will render your Edison board compatible with the Arduino hardware (and with the Grove universe, for which you\u2019ll simply need to add a base shield!)\n <\/li>\n \n \n
\n The mini Intel development board, which will allow you to use your Edison while also making the most of its size.\n <\/li>\n \n <\/ul>\n \n \n
\n 4 great projects to launch you into the Edison adventure!\n <\/h2>\n \n \n
\n We\u2019ve scoured the Net looking for fun projects using the Edison board, and here is our Top 4!\n <\/p>\n \n \n
\n #4 The flame fire alarm\n <\/h3>\n \n \n
\n Always useful in a kitchen (or why not next to a fireplace), this\n \n flame fire alarm\n <\/a>\n is a fairly easy home automation project. The perfect choice for a first project!\n <\/p>\n \n \n

\n #3 The custom doorbell\n <\/h3>\n \n \n
\n Tired of listening to the same old sound of your doorbell? Look no further,\n \n this Intel Edison board tutorial\n <\/a>\n shows you how to customise it! A fun little project to keep you busy in the winter evenings!\n <\/p>\n \n \n
