Here are a collection of sensors, actuators and shields that we have had success using with Intel® Galileo and Intel® Edison boards. We are always looking for additional sensors to bring to our platform so do not hesitate to contribute and if you have some suggestions for our current drivers you can always make a git pull request.
There is also a description of how it the components works, sample code and a link to the manufacturer.
