We have added support for the Intel® Edison platform to the 1.0.0 release of our wiring-x86 Python module.
This gives you Arduino like functionality on Intel® Edison and Galileo via a Python interface.
We think the Intel® Edison is a really cool development platform and we think you will too. Especially with the easy to use wiring-x86
module.
Check out the documentation and examples, the source code, or install the module straight from the Python PyPI repository.
