I tried using the Galileo when it came out and was similarly disappointed. It claimed Arduino compatibility but had IO so slow that it couldn't interface with a DHT11 temperature/humidity sensor. In the end I got the feeling that Intel hadn't really thought things through :/
- FlorianRappl 9y agoI had exactly the same problem ... I was disappointed especially since the DHT11 is something like a super common standard sensor that is used in nearly every maker 101 course.
- diabeetusman 9y agoYou understate the issue-- the GPIO pins had a default throughput of 230 Hz [https://communities.intel.com/message/207904#207904 https://communities.intel.com/message/207904#207904]
- askvictor 9y agoYeah, we tried them for some projects at our school, and had to daisy chain a real Arduino to do the io. Waste of time. This was Intel's attempt at bootstrapping a community by giving heaps of free kit to schools; ended up making us wary and distrustful of Intel.
