Romeo for Intel Edison is a multi-purpose, all-in-one development platform based on Intel Edison and Arduino SoC. It is especially designed to be useful for robotics applications. Romeo for Intel Edison is compatible with Arduino open source platform and Linux, and supports Java and C development environment. Users are able to extend this platform with thousands of existing shields and modules such as switches, sensors, LEDs, servos, motors easily with Romeo for Intel Edison. It can also be used as a standalone communication platform for software like flash, processing, Max/MSP and VVVV. The integrated 2 way DC motor driver and wireless capability allows you to start your project immediately without the need of any additional motor driver or wireless shield. The Romeo for Intel Edison inherits all functions of the Romeo all-in-one controller by integrating powerful functions the Intel Edison board possesses. You can describe it as a control board specially designed for robotics applications, carrying the powerful gene of Intel Edison and being compatible with Arduino.

NOTE: As Romeo for Edison is using Atmel mega 8 as Analog pins driver. Please download the IIC libary first.
The library is keeping update, so some sample code and picture will be different to the old one.

Sample code: Open Arduino IDE, Select Boards -->Intel Edison and COM port In this section, please down load the DFRobot_Edison library V1.1 first.

#include <DFRobot.h>
#include <IIC1.h>

unsigned int value = 0;

void setup() {
 Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {

  value = analogRead(A0);

  Serial.println((int)value);

  delay(2000);
}

'''A. '''Interl Edison has a compatible issue on Win 7/Win XP, please upgrade your Operating System to Win 8/10.

'''A. ''' It is for the TWI(IIC) issue, please upgrade Atmega8 firmware to the newest version, and use the corresponding newest library.

'''A. ''' Internal Edison will detect the value of "VBUS" pin, and it doesn't permit debugging while "VBUS" is LOW. It means you need connect a OTG cable to OTG port.(It doesn't need to connect anything to OTG cable), when you want to debug Edison via the COM port.
