Some *I2C* sensors add too much capacitance to the SDA line of the Intel Edison
Arduino breakout board, thus the signal sticks to a logic 1. When this happens,
other sensors connected to the I2C bus are unusable. While there is no generic
solution for this limitation, in most cases the sensor works on the Intel
Edison Mini-breakout. When this board is not an option, the sensor can be
sometimes replaced with the same model from a different vendor.
other sensors connected to the I2C bus also become unusable. In order to solve
this problem, an I2C repeater that isolates the capacitance on the bus, such as
the PCA9517 can be used.
The Intel Edison *SPI* bus can corrupt data being sent across when certain
sensors are connected to it, if using an old image. This has been resolved with
