    Ok, so I ordered the BLU, but no cables were included. I assume there's a standard cable, but when I look on amazon, they want $10US each and packs of 4 (so $40US for 4 8cm 4 wire cables).

    I asked UDOO support and was told:

    I'm sorry, there is no cable available for UDOO Blu/Blu Sense for customers. The unit has a JTAG connector and that's used for service use only.

    I'm hoping this is a misunderstanding? I read this as 'sorry, you can't actually hook it up to anything, it's actually a paperweight.'

    Does this use the OSEPP connector? I've not used I2C or Bricks before.

    I think they misunderstood you. Did you ask for a udoo brick cable? This is the only cable that can be attached to the BLU.

    I wasn't that specific, I just asked for a cable.

    I may be misunderstanding, though. I assumed that the i2c would be used to attach to a udoo x86 for control and programming, but reading a third party article, it looks like you use Bluetooth?
