The Analog Input example for Intel® Edison Board uses a potentiometer as an input/output device to control the blinking rate of the LED. We are using the code provided under the examples for Arduino* IDE 1.5.3.

Hardware

  • Intel® Edison Board
  • Arduino* expansion board
  • Breadboard
  • Potentiometer
  • Wires
  • One LED
  • One 220 Ohm resistor

Instructions

  1. Using two wires, make the following breadboard-to-Arduino expansion board connections.

 

Breadboard Arduino expansion board
Positive strip 5 V
Negative strip GND

 

  1. Using the potentiometer, make the following breadboard-to-Arduino expansion board connections.
