I try to support SparkFun whenever I can, and I usually don't mind spending a small premium on products to support their good work, but Frys has the same product for $59.99 and free, same-day shipping.</p>

To power the edison, you will need a block which will supply power to the edison. If you want to use pins on the edison, you will need another bock which will break the pins out for you to use. So, to do anything special you will need another block.</p><p>With the breakout kit, all you need is the breakout kit and it has a USB port on it for power as well as locations to solder on pins or a socket of your choice.</p></p>

I ordered it and chose next day, and received it next day. Then a week later i turned around and bought the Edison Arduino kit from them. 3 days later i received that as well. I choose to use my money wisely, if a popular company like them has the kits in stock and at a lower cost that is where I am going.</p>

Slow service and goods never turned up. Now they have canceled my order without anyone contacting me. Waist of time. Best to wait and stick with sparkfun</p>

You can power it from USB alone via the otg port, but external power is necessary for running as a USB host. 7-15 Vdc on J21 or a LiPo cell on J2 (iirc - check the schematic).</p>

Do I simply apply 7-15V on J21 or can I power it via USB? Is there a "Getting Started" for this board (not for the Arduino breakout)?</p>

I don't know if they are selling the mini separately, but we don't carry them without the Edison. But at this point you will need the mini or the Arduino board to be able to do anything with the Edison since we don't have any of our boards ready yet.</p>

This board takes 7-15V in, 5V from USB, or 3.15-4.5V from a Li-ion battery (which it can charge at 190mA). It has a 5V 1A regulator on board that supplies the Edison (and peripherals?).</p>

All the examples, and the prime photographer, are in San Francisco at IDF ATM.<p>The GPIO is in 4 rows of pins which are <em>completely</em> obscured by the Edison in this picture. The board is super thick, so the bottom of the pins don't protrude through the top and poke the Edison.</p><p>Also, and this is important, this can't be in a stack with Blocks unless you remove the two headers on the end opposite the USB. It's not a big deal, really; you can short one and leave the other open.</p></p>
