your hardware conducts 2014 CES coverage brought to you by and cix technology connected hey guys I'm here with Michael at the Intel booth preview and we're here to talk about Edison now can you give us a basically a brief description and see what exactly is that ISM so Edison is a new computer system so it's a complete computer system with with Wi-Fi Bluetooth flash and DRAM and it is the size so this is a 50 card form factor it actually fits in an SD card slot you could but it actually runs Linux and you can run arbitrary applications on it so you can do things like stick it in the camera and have it automatically post books your Facebook page you can use to control a robot and actually it's actually a dual-core quark buster and it actually runs to operating systems a real-time operating system and legs and the the reason that we have the real-time operating system is because control devices so in addition to the ordinary SD contacts we also have a set of programmable IO defile pins and these can do pulse width modulation to control motors they can do general purpose i/o tutors to digital i/o in and out for buttons in the sort of thing you can also do I to see there's a serial communication lets you talk to display lets you talk to all kinds of other sensors like motion sensors or whatever so it's a full system designed to do used for device control that can include wearables they can also include home automation robotics all kinds of I've seen things and what's up applications are we looking at here Anna right so this is a couple demonstration applications so this is basically an internet-enabled mug so you know you have a display embedded in the mug and this small enough this can go inside the wall of the mug and so this display could show tweets it could show the weather it could show the temperature in your house it could be it could be as a showman keynote last night you could have a motor sensor based on Edison measuring temperature and transmitting that here so we've a baby with a temperature model and you can see that information being displayed here or you know you could have your friends work out and you know all conformationally displayed here this is one possibility of course there's many other things you can do with it so we've also looking at user interface devices like handheld devices so guys I think this is a a big stepping-stone in the revolution in not only wearable tech with small computing devices so thanks for taking a look at our coverage of what is an impressive little I don't want to call it a chip because it's a complete system Edison at the Intel 2014 CES booth preview now guys I want you to like it if you like it don't dislike it because there's nothing here to dislike and make sure you hit that follow button and keep on checking back for more Hardware Canucks hard-hitting kick-ass CES 2014 coverage
