Introduction
Ready to learn the basics and see your Galileo in action? The Galileo board is software-compatible with the Arduino Software Development Environment, which makes getting started a snap. From building simple circuits to creating a Simon Says game, you will have a better understanding on how to build circuits and how to work with the Galileo. With these skills you can then create your own awesome project!
In this SparkFun Inventor's Kit for Galileo guide, you will learn the following:
