Genuino 101

The Genuino 101 is an amazing learning and development board. It combines the high - performance and low - power features of the Intel® Curie module with the simplicity of Arduino, all at an affordable entry - level price. This platform has the same sturdy form as the UNO and comes with added Bluetooth LE and a 6 - axis accelerometer/gyro, allowing you to easily explore the connected world. The Intel® Curie module has two small cores, an x86 (Quark) and a 32 - bit ARC core, both running at 32MHz. The Intel toolchain compiles Arduino sketches across these cores for tough tasks. It has 14 digital I/O pins (4 for PWM), 6 analog inputs, a USB for communication and upload, a power jack, an ICSP header with SPI and I²C pins. The board works at 3.3V with 5V - tolerant I/O. Note: It's only for customers in listed countries. US customers should check out Arduino 101. Also, Intel's RTOS and framework will be open - sourced in March 2016. Before that, only the Arduino core can interface with it via static mailboxes. Key features include an Intel® Curie™ microcontroller, 3.3V operating voltage, 7 - 12V recommended input voltage, 14 digital I/O pins, and more. You can access documents like schematics, Eagle files, and getting - started guides.

Using the Genuino 101 is easy. First, connect it to your computer via the USB connector. You can then upload your Arduino sketches using the Arduino IDE. When powering it, make sure to use an input voltage between 7 - 12V for best results. You can expand your projects by using the digital and analog pins. The Bluetooth LE feature allows you to connect wirelessly to other devices. Remember, this board is only available for customers in specific countries. If you're in the US, look for the Arduino 101 instead. Also, until March 2016, you can only interface with the Intel - developed RTOS and framework through the Arduino core. For maintenance, keep the board clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. Check the pins regularly to ensure they're not bent or damaged.
