Accessing hardware on the Edison?

Workshopshed over 7 years ago

I'm wondering about accessing the GPIO of the Edison in high-level languages such as Python or Node.

So far I've found MRAA but wondered if there are other options?

MRAA should be the way to go. Looks like they have Python interface. Check out this link: Getting Started With Intel Edison - Python Programming - All I cannot wait to play with Python and Node on the…

If you can access the gpio through the standard linux filesystem method it should be possible to write out the bash commands in Python using os.popen e.g. import os p = os.popen("echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio…

I cannot wait to play with Python and Node on the Edison. Plans are to make that an early write up.

Firmata does seem to be a possibilityhttps://github.com/rwaldron/galileo-io

I believe that in the Edison the Atom communicates to the hardware at the chip level so there's NO serial communication like in the Yún.
