How Do I Make My Own Blocks?

If you have outgrown our current offering of Blocks, we are here to help! In case you missed our homepage post, we released a template to jump start your next idea. This template is designed to help create new blocks that will interface with the existing ecosystem.

Here are our template design files, take them and see what you can come up with! There are all kinds of helpful messages in the schematics and board files. The library parts for the Edison connectors are there as well.

Here is a detailed diagram of the Edison connector showing the pin numbers along with names and functions. This may also prove useful for testing signals.

Hopefully we have given you a good start to understanding the SparkFun Blocks for Intel Edison ecosystem.
