Intel Arduino 101 Development Board with Intel Curie

I love it! I hope Intel keeps making little dev boards/chips like this. I absolutely love the speed of the Curie CPU, and the built-in bluetooth is amazing.This is NOT an ARM board (it's x86 based), so some libraries will not work. But that's not Intel's fault, and it's still an amazingly useful board for most applications. Plus, most of the libraries I use still work perfectly.

Worked as advertised.[...]

Actually, I guess this arduino 101 maybe broken during the shipment? Cause I run the same code program in arduino UNO and arduino 101, but it's work for UNO rather than 101, for 100% for sure, I write the led test program, the same error occur in 101board. The more details I will post the picture. Can u change the good one for me?

This was promoted as something like an Arduino Uno R3, but with more processing power and extra built-in features. And, as far as I can tell so far, that's mostly accurate.My big concern has been with the lack of I2C functionality. I wanted to use I2C to connect the Arduino 101 with a Raspberry Pi, but it turns out that the Arduino 101 completely lacks the ability to act as an I2C slave; attempting to compile the code fails with the error "error: no matching function for call to TwoWire::begin(int)". From what I've been able to read on forums, in particular the official Arduino 101 GitHub under Issue #112, this is a known issue relating to the lack of hardware to implement the I2C slave functionality.The Arduino 101 functions with 3.3V logic, as opposed to the previously more common 5V logic that the Arduino Uno uses. This can be a pro in some cases and a con in others. At first, I was pretty happy about it since the Raspberry Pi 3 also uses 3.3V, but the lack of I2C slave mode prevented me from going down that path anyway.

Fortunately, I have plenty of Arduino cables, so if this is your first dip in the Arduino world, order one, as it doesn't come when you order the card. I began with an Uno kit, so I was prepared. I also have a signal injector with a heart rhythm. First thing I had to do after following the instructions wIas to find CurieBLE.h and remember, the name is case sensitive so I had to change that in the sample code.The good news is that I can see it when I turn Bluetooth on and scan. The bad news is, when I tried BLE tool, I would get the Arduino name instead of Heart Sketch. More disappointing was that my favorite app found the advertised service, read the R to R, but never connected. Even the nRF Toolbox could not get the HRM going, even when the nRF Connect saw the device.I give it one star because it was incapable of powering the 5V signal generator. No problem for me now, as it also takes power from a mini connector, but the prototype needs a good 5V rail. I gave this Arduino every chance, even supplementing the current with the adapter, but no go.These devices are supposed to sleep until an app starts a connection, but this device becomes unresponsive until I reload the sketch.If it weren't so difficult to get my Uno's modem to take attributes, I'd be done by now. I had hoped this Arduino would do the job, but this item isn't ready for the general public.I did order two and thought the first was dead on arrival, until I was able to reproduce the failure to start on the second. I'll try everything on the second board and if it actually works with the Sleep app, I'll let you know, but I'm not hopeful.So, newbies, unless you have a solid background in electronics, I would choose another board. Intel, I'm terribly disappointed with you.Update: the first board is definitely going back. As soon as I hooked up the second, still not using the 5V rail, I got the nRF Toolbox to connect (not pair, this is BLE, after all, and it was funny to see an heart beat interpreted as BPM (beats per minute). Sleep doesn't pick it up yet, but I think that's a characteristic issue and I have already modified the code. Cool to see my input graphed by the Serial Plotter tool in the Arduino IDE. But it's as fussy as the Arduino with two Bluetooth adapters, making me restart instead of disconnecting cleanly. I expect it will be one of the ubiquitous updates the IDE is perpetually checking.We'll see how the replacement board does. Good luck.Update: The replacement board is downstairs, in our large mailbox, but in the meantime, the Intel works with the software that I use when working out. I'll have to handle Sleep differently, but adding characteristics is easy to code. But my complaint remains with rebooting before reprogramming but it's not a production issue. My prototype will continue with this board as it is now encased.Update: The sketch won't take dht.h, so I had to find DHT.h. But it's progress!Another detail: for the internal accelerometer, find the code that converts the raw data in a function. There are stubs, but not true functions in "CurieIMU.h" (and while the file is in the library, it only worked when I used quotes.But the sketch is done, incorporating all the other sensors and even another Bluetooth adapter. It compiles, which is the most I can expect from the board.Another warning: I literally had to tear my project apart, because this board does not power anything but itself. 3.3 or 5V didn't matter; I am running everything of the adapter that came with my kit, so I have only one, but it does have an on/off switch, so it is an improvement for me, as I'm doing more than low energy.Update: I need two of everything, so I'm going back to Uno. You'd think the one wired to sensors would die first but they both sat in production quality containers. As soon as I swapped, the same sketch took.See why I need two working boards at all times? I now have two Fritzing diagrams and the investment in Intel is a loss. It was bad enough that, once paired to one tablet, the next scanned nothing; I even tried closing BLE outside connect and reloading the characteristics, but that wouldn't loop.Hurry up, new BLE adapters!

Awesome. Accelemeter and Gyro and bluetooth built in, and it worked correctly with the libraries out of the box with the sample sketches.I did have to change the case on the library name from the sample code, but it's kind of obvious if you're a programmer. If not, be sure to check the names on your includes in the example sketches.

Very impressed how far Arduino has come. This is my varouit board. It's pretty. It's BLE feature is easy to interact with.Great powerful prototype platform, still has Arduino's famous easy-of-use.Also works great with:  Pulse Sensor

I received my Arduino 101 today (23 June 2016), On the Arduino 1.6.9 IDE I chose UNO as board type and tried to upload Blink from the usual library. It would not upload. After trying a few possible things that could go wrong, I opened Arduino.cc and chose Products and selected Arduino 101 and Getting Started. There I found that there were a number of serious issues where the 101 differs from other Arduino boards, that have to be addressed before I could expect it to work. A Sketch given there may solve most or all of them, But maybe not, because there is possibly a Driver that needs adding first. I have set the problem aside for now, and will try again later.

Lamentablemente a veces es enviado en un sobre amarillo con burbujas. La caja donde viene empacado no es precisamente muy resistente así que es recomendable revisar el dispositivo en cuanto llegue para revisar que funcione correctamente y los pines no vengan doblados.Tiene acelerómetro, giroscopio, bluetooth y creo que Wi-Fi.

Por $600 tienes un processor de 32 bits a 32 Mhz , Bluetooth, acelerometro y giroscopio. Puedes usar control con redes neuronales y logica difuza....

Esta placa de desarrollo es pequeña y con muy pocas salidas y entradas, pero lo compensa de manera enorme la cantidad de sensores internos que tiene.
