Preface

Intel Edison Projects is meant for beginners who want to get to grips with the Intel Edison and explore its features. Intel Edison is an embedded computing platform, which allows us to explore areas of IoT, embedded systems, and robotics.

This book takes you through various concepts and each chapter has a project that can be performed by you. It covers multiple topics, including sensor data acquisition and pushing it to the cloud to control devices over the Internet, as well as topics ranging from image processing to both autonomous and manual robotics.

In every chapter, the book first covers some theoretical aspects of the topic, which include some small chunks of code and a minimal hardware  setup. The rest of the chapter is dedicated to the practical aspects of the project.

The projects discussed in this book wherever possible require only minimal hardware, and the projects in each chapter are included to make sure that you understand the basics.
