wearable devices and Internet of Things devices.
Over the years this technology has evolved and the chips r getting more faster(processing) and much smaller
The connector on Intel Edison is a Hirose 70-pin DF40 Series “header” connector. (Hirose part number: DF40C-70DP-0.4V(51)). It exports many signals (USB, GPIOs, SPI, I2c, PWM, etc.).
The mating Hirose connector on an expansion board is the “receptacle” connector and is available in three different heights (1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm
Some of the latest development include: Arduino boards, Intel breakout board,
For all you developers esp the the hardware oriented this is an explored venture......
