Having seen the size of the Sparkfun base board, I can tell it's small.

I resorted to using an AA battery next to my photos of various boards as the size was deceiving.

Regardless of the size it appears to be very clear, well worth the wait.

Nice update.

I agree, the display appears to be plenty bright.

Not sure how readable it is in real life, but it should work well.

What is the range of the radio board?

Hey [mention:de39d41ebbc14137bc5feb214ccf47f2:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] the new screen looks great!

I notice that the mounting nuts are a lot bigger than the ones provided with the Intel boards. It shows that the Edison has been designed right in that you can fit the large nuts.

However, it might be worth taking care not to over tighten them.
