Starter Kits for Makers with Intel Edison Development Boards:
To make basic projects the following kits will be required:
1. Intel Edison Break Out Board Kit for Arduino.
2. Grove Indoor enviornment Kit for Intel Edison - The document included also has project ideas.
For Intel Edison Expansion board set up for Arduino Experiments and Other Project Instructions, Please go to Intel Edison Projects Page.
For Support, you can also refer to Intel Maker Support Page.
Project Ideas for Makers:
Instructables has numerous Intel Edison Project Ideas for exploring and building. You can also buy the components from Shop at Amazon.com. Another site for project ideas isMaker Shed.
Steps for "Hello World" Experiment withGrove LCD and Intel Edison Expansion Board:
29th September, 2015. Chandanshamala Library:
Here are the steps for using Arduino IDE, Base shield and LCD to display "Hello World":
1, Open the Grove Starter Kit Plus for Intel IOT edition for Intel Galileo Gen 2 and Edison box and identify the base shield and LCD display and connecting cables.
2. Mount the base shield on the Edison Expansion board alligning the male and female connectors.
3. Connect one end of the connecting cables to LCD connection port and the other end to one of the I2C ports on the base shield.
4. Connect the barrel connector to the Edison Expansion board.
5. Connect the middle micro USB port to the computer.
6. Open Arduino IDE.
7. In a browser window, Please go to https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/Grove_LCD_RGB_Backlight.
8. Copy the rgb_lcd.cpp and rgb_lcd.h file to ****/arduino/libraries/src folder in your computer.
9. Click on examples - from the area in Step 7.
10. Click on "Hello World".
11. Click on "HelloWorld.ino" file. This is the code you need for your experiment.
12. Copy this code and past it as a new file, in Arduino IDE (Step 6). Save this file.
Now we are all set to run the hello world program....
13. Go to the Arduino IDE window and click on the arrow sign for upload below the Edit tab.
14. This will compile and upload the program to the Edison board and " Hello World" should be displayed in the LCD......
