- Grove Accelerometer
- Grove Temperaturesensor
Get Started With Intel Edison
1. Unpack your Intel Edison + connect to it for the first time:
Plug in both usb cables and connect via serial console (e.g. putty / minicom/...) (user: root, no password)
2. copy newest Image onto edison flash drive

Downloads
Install Additional Hardware
1. Plug the Seed Grove Studio base into the arduino breakout for edison.
2. Plug in Grove GPS-Module
3. Plug in Grove Accelerometer-Module
4. Plug in Grove temperature sensor
Start the code
and take a look into /home/root/gps_data/new/**
where a new file with gps, temperature and accelerometer data will be written as soon as gps is connected.
Backend Code
download the appended zip with the backend code.
unzip it and call the html page. You will see a webpage displaying gps data.
In addition you have to setup right database to get updated data.
