<div><p>The Intel Edison is a crowning achievement of Intel's adaptation of its technology into maker-friendly products. They've packed the dual-core power of the Atom CPU, combined it with a sideboard microcontroller brain, and added in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy, and a generous amount of RAM (1GB) and flash storage (4GB). This book, written by Stephanie Moyerman, a research scientist with Intel's Smart Device Innovation Team, teaches you everything you need to know to get started making things with Edison, the compact and powerful Internet of Things platform.</p><p>Projects and tutorials include:</p><ul><li>Controlling devices over Bluetooth</li><li>Using Python and Arduino programming environments on Edison</li><li>Tracking objects with a webcam and OpenCV</li><li>Responding to voice commands and talking back</li><li>Using and configuring Linux on Edison</li></ul></div>
