Sophi KravitzI'm using the Intel Edison with Sparkfun's GPIO block and a vibrating motor.
The motor needs 2V and 85mA to start, and according to the datasheet, is vibration happy at 3V (run-current is 75mA).
The Edison's GPIO pins put out ~5mA, so I grabbed an NPN transistor out of a messy pile on my bench to drive it.
This worked pretty well!
