Example Code for Arduino-Blink

Last revision 2025/12/15

This project demonstrates setting up the IO expansion board for Edison and uploading the "Blink" sample code to make an LED flash once per second. Users will learn to construct the hardware/software environment, install drivers, and upload code to the board.

Hardware Preparation

Part List:

  • IO expansion board x1
  • Edison module x1
  • micro USB x1
  • Computer x1
