Romeo for Intel® Edison Controller

SKU: DFR0331

Romeo for Intel Edison is a multi-purpose robotics development platform based on Intel Edison and Arduino SoC. It’s compatible with Arduino/Linux, supports Java/C, and extends with thousands of shields (switches, sensors, etc.). It works as a standalone comms platform for flash/processing/Max/MSP/VVVV, with an integrated 2-way DC motor driver and wireless capability (no extra shields needed), inheriting Romeo all-in-one functions plus Intel Edison’s power.
