Intel Edison generic calculator shield photo journal

[MarkHaysHarris777]

Greetings folks, today I'm pumped because my Intel Edison board (with Arduino breakouts) arrived from Hungary (Arduino Store) by UPS; along with my new Arduino mug, and a very cool blue 20x2 character LCD display. My Edison shield will have a blue|red|white theme, blue 20x2 LCD, white lettering, red pcbs (still in the mails).

The Arduino shield is going to make a great development shield, but I really think the Intel Edison is the micro controller that actually has the stuff needed for a commercial shield for a scientific calculator (supporting full comms, printing, IR, wifi, all on chip).

I have not unpacked it all yet, but I'll get some photos up on this journal sometime today. Did I mention that its tiny? Oh, man, it redefines tiny.


PS. Thanks for pointing me to this board, Pauli !


cheers,
