![]() ![]() This kit also includes a Arduino Breakout, which essentially gives your Edison the ability to interface with Arduino shields or any board with the Arduino footprint. It’s low power and small footprint make it ideal for projects that need a lot of processing power, but don’t have the ability to be near a larger power source or have a large footprint. This is a module with a high speed processor and WiFi and Bluetooth Radios on board. Those versatile features help meet the needs of a makers, inventors, and beginners. 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. It’s no wonder how this little guy is lowering the barrier of entry on the world of electronics! Powered by the Intel® Atom™ SoC dual-core CPU and including an integrated WiFi, Bluetooth LE, and a 70-pin connector to attach a veritable slew of shield-like “Blocks” which can be stacked on top of each other. Each Edison is packed with 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 Intel® Edison is an ultra small computing platform that will change the way you look at embedded electronics. Input/output voltage on the Mini Breadboard is 1.Intel® Edison and Arduino Breakout Kit (Sparkfun DEV-13097)Įdison: Standard Power On Board Antenna + Arduino (EDI1ARDUIN.AL.K).Input/output voltage on the Arduino Breakout is 5V.Input/output voltage on the GPIO Block is 3.3V by default.The "Pinmode" allows you to change the function of each pin. Note that the "Edison Pin" numbers are the same GPIO pin numbers found on Linux in the Edison. If you would like to use mraa to control hardware, figure out which GPIO pins you plan to use on the table below (labeled "Edison Pin") and then use the MRAA Number in software. This is because the mraa library uses a different number for the pins. You might have noticed that we used GP44 in hardware and GPIO 31 in our example code. Probably not the first time you've made an LED blink, but maybe the first time in python on Debian! Pin Map Either switch to root using the "su" command or run the command with "sudo" (if you have "sudo" installed). Important: You need to run blink.py as root! If you get an error such as "ValueError: Invalid GPIO pin specified" it means that you do not have permissions to modify GPIO. Save and exit the file (if you are using nano, press 'Crtl-X' and 'y'). In that file, enter the following: language:python You should see your LED start turning on and off! Using Pythonįor Python, use your favorite text editor to create this simple script, called something like blink.py. Either switch to root using the “su” command or run the command with “sudo” (if you have “sudo” installed). Important: You need to run blink as root! If you get an error such as “Invalid GPIO pin specified” or "FATAL error, libmraa program must be run as root (EUID 0), cannot proceed" it means that you do not have permissions to modify GPIO. Note the "-lmraa" that tells the compiler to include the mraa library. Compile the program with: gcc blink.c -o blink -lmraa Save and exit the file ('Crtl-X' and 'y' for nano). * Turn LED off and on forever until SIGINT (Ctrl+c) */ * Create signal handler so we can exit gracefully */ If you want to use C, create a file with your favority text editor: nano blink.cĬopy the following code into that file: language:c Your ld.so.conf file should look like this: Scroll down to the bottom of the file and add: /usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ With root (or using "sudo"), open up the ld.so.conf file: nano /etc/ld.so.conf To use the library in C or C++ programs, we need to add it to our shared library cache. ![]() If you need node.js, you can compile a newer version of swig from source (3.01+). That DBUILDSWIGNODE flag turns off node.js support, which isn't available in the version of swig in apt. Important: Make sure you run the final command, "make install" with root or "sudo." Libmraa is not in apt so we'll have to compile it from source. Now that we are familiar with installing packages from apt, let's get everything else we need for the build: apt-get install git Look through the list and you should see: libpcre3-dev - Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - development files apt-cache search pcreĪpt-cache search does just what it sounds like - searches apt packages. The first dependency of this install is the PCRE development files. Log in as root (or use "su" or "sudo") on your Edison and type: apt-get updateĪpt-get update will update your local cache of all currently available packages in the repository. ![]() We'll be using Debian's Advanced Package Manager to install the dependencies needed for libmraa. ![]()
