Blog #8 - Edison link to Arduino
Previously I had mentioned showing how to get the IDE working with our Edison board and this blog will cover that. I am going from perspective you already have Arduino loaded from another project and just need to add the Edison board materials. There are numerous blogs on installing Arduino and I have even put some out. I will try and link to mine a little later here.
In blog 7 I was referencing the intel.com website for the latest Edison information so I will pick up from there. As you can see they have a link to Arduino under their IDEs page.
Since I am not installing Arduino from scratch I ignored the first part of their instructions and scrolled down to where you actually tell Arduino about your Edison board.
Under Step #7 they have you go to Tools> Board> Boards Manager and look for the Intel i686 Boards.
(actually below the highlighted one, since that is the i586 for Galileo.
Here is an example showing how you access the Boards Manager.
As you can see my previous board was my Uno.
Here we will click on Install for the Intel i686 Boards. Edison.
Depending on speed of Network this can take a few minutes.
Success! We now have the Edison board included with our Arduino IDE!
Of course it won't actually do anything unless you change the board to your new Intel Edison board so make sure to switch to the Edison.
Using the tried and true Blink sketch I had as the default sketch I quickly uploaded over to the Edison to see if it was working.
There we see the Blinking Led showing that your Arduino IDE is now connected and communicating with your Edison. Congratulations!
