This will oscillate the J19-6 pin, you can test this with your volt meter, or wire up a circuit that lights an LED on when it sees 1.8v and then attach it to J19-6 (signal) and J19-3(gnd) These are the pins to see this work on the mini-breakout board (looking at it from the bottom side, USB plugs to left, writing right side up) o o o o o o o o o o o o o o J17 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o J18 o o o o o o o o S o o G o o J19 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o J20 How to Run: 1. Set up networking/ssh on your edison (see intel's site for details) 2. clone the repository, 3. cd into the top level 4. run gradlew build scp blink-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar root@192.168.3.161:~/ 5. Ssh into your edison 6. Run the following commands: wget --no-cookies --no-check-certificate --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F; oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u51-b16/jdk-8u51-linux-i586.tar.gz" tar xzvf jdk-8u51-linux-i586.tar.gz jdk1.8.0_51/bin/java -jar blink-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
