@allObjects I used the Raspberry in the past but I ran into SD card issues where they would get corrupted if the PI was shutdown down incorrectly. The Edison doesnt have any display ports so I opted to use a Nextion 4.3" touch screen from itead studios.
@Gordon I just cut the pins, but come to think of it, I should of bent the pins for the reusability factor. I don't believe the Edisons GPIOs are open circuit to begin with. I think I had to edit the pin table file in order to use the serial pins and I believe that goes for the i2C also. I configured the Edison a while ago and set it to the side for a couple of months until I had a reason to use it, so I don't quite remember .
Hrmm, I wonder if I can edit the pin table and swap the Edisons pin 1 and 0. That would remove the hassle of having to cut traces or running wires. I'll research that and see what I can do, but for now, I connected the leads from the Edisons 1 and 0 port to the picos A3 and A4 pins for the Serial2 communication.
