Intel Edison Board
I have just come across this tiny computer that on first glance would have great use for those brewers that like to monitor their brewing from a distance, especially on a computer or phone. It was seeing this article that got me thinking. HERE The description says: The Edison packs a host of features, including WiFi (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth (4.0 and 2.1 EDR), UARTs, I2C, SPI, USB, and 40 GPIO. It’s driven by a 32-bit Intel® Atom™ Processor clocked at 500MHz, supported by 1GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 4GB eMMC flash memory. To top it off, it’s housed in a tiny, 35.5 x 25.0 x 3.9 mm module.

Re: Intel Edison Board
Bob,
That is the Edison and the Arduino breakout board you have pictured.
It might work as well as a RasPi and Arduino replacement but is a little more expensive.
Still if you want a small, combined solution it is ideal.

Re: Intel Edison Board
I just picked a random picture, as there seem to be so many variants with this unit, but I agree the price is slightly higher than the pi and arduino. It was the functionality that caught my eye.
