This is a brief introduction to using the Intel Edison and integrating a few Grove Sensors. Then sensors include...

1. Light Sensor

2. Sound Sensor

3. Temperature Sensor

4. Combustion Gas Sensor

5. Accelerator

Enjoy!

Gather Your Materials

Materials include the following...

1. Intel Edison Board

2. Base Shield

3. Temperature Sensor

4. Accelerometer

5. Combustion Sensor

Connect all of the sensors according to the picture above. The ports that will be used are the analog ports and one I2C port. The sound sensor goes in A0, the combustion gas sensor goes in A1, the light sensor goes in A2, the temperature sensor goes in A3, and the accelerometer goes in the I2C compartment as pictured above.

Getting Hooked Up
