SparkFun goes into more detail in their video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY8kaaFzbTE&list=UUKPLvnWhN1Qo51IDDZsmq1g
including close ups of the connector. They point out that all the I/Os are 1.8V, not 5V, so you'll need level shifters in most cases. SparkFun has created a bunch of Edison-specific peripheral boards that are stackable. They call them SparkFun Blocks. They include: USB console, USB host, GPIO, H-Bridge motor controller, 64x64 mono OLED display, gyro/magnetometer, PWM server controller, 12-bit ADC, uSD card, I2C, etc. Lots of I/O packed into a small space. I'm a bit surprised to see SparkFun invest so heavily in this platform (has the Galileo gotten popular?), especially in the variation primarily intended to be integrated into custom motherboards. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
