Intel Edison

The Intel® Edison is an ultra-small computing platform that will change the way you look at embedded electronics. Each Edison packs a huge amount of tech goodies into a tiny package while still providing the same robust strength of your go-to single-board computer. The Edison is powered by the Intel®Atom™ SoC dual-core CPU and includes an integrated WiFi, Bluetooth LE and 70-pin connector to attach a veritable slew of shield-like “Blocks,” which can be stacked on top of one another. It’s no wonder how this little guy is lowering the barrier of entry on the world of electronics! This Edison Base Kit includes all the basic ingredients you need to get started with Intel’s incredibly tiny computer platform. With this pack, you will be able to snap essential parts to your Edison that provide basic functionality and turn it into a modular Linux computer.

With this set you will be provided with increased mechanical strength for stacking Blocks. Each Hardware Pack includes ten M2x3mm standoffs, six M2x3mm screws, and six M2 nuts. With this set of hardware you will be able to secure three Blocks to one Intel® Edison.

Equip your Edison with a graphic display using the Edison OLED Block! Simply snap this board onto your Edison to gain access to a 0.66", 64x48 pixel monochrome OLED. To add some control over your Edison and the OLED, this board also includes a small joystick and a pair of push-buttons which can be used them to create a game, file navigator, or more!
