#### General
Some I2C sensors add too much capacitance to the SDA line of the Intel Edison
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.
The Intel Edison *SPI* bus can corrupt data being sent across when certain
sensors are connected to it. Based on the sensor, this can affect functionality
slightly or make the sensor entirely unusable. Unlike the I2C bus limitation,
different boards are not likely to resolve this. A kernel update on the other
hand might help alleviate this.
On the Intel Galileo boards, the *UART* bus might drop data if several bytes
are read at once.
