* **Grove Servo** (ES08A) requires an external power supply connected to the
board to work. We highly recommend using a separate circuit when powering any
sort of motor. Trying to use this servo off USB power alone can lead to damage
to the servo and/or board!

when used on the Intel Edison Arduino board because the integrated compass

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.
sensors are connected to it, if using an old image. This has been resolved with
the latest releases.
On the Intel Galileo boards, the *UART* bus might drop data if several bytes
are read at once.
