Edison has built-in sensors, lights and sound so that you can concentrate on programming.
Edison can:
Respond to light and sound
Follow lines and avoid obstacles
Read pre-set barcode programs
Communicate with other Edison robots
And so much more!
Programming Edison.
Create and run your own programs for Edison using our free browser-based or downloadable applications. The unique way that Edison transfers data to the robot using sound output means that almost any device with a standard headphone jack can be used – PC, Mac, Chromebook, iPad, Android and Raspberry Pi are all supported.
Edison can be programmed using EdWare, a graphical drag-and-drop language or EdPy which is based on the popular Python text-based language.
Works with LEGO bricks.
LEGO bricks can be connected to the top, bottom and sides of Edison as well as to the wheels allowing you to build your own designs on the base robot. You can even use LEGO bricks to connect two or more Edison robots together!
Each Edison is supplied with an EdComm download cable for use with PC, Mac, Chromebook, iPad, Android or Raspberry Pi. 4x AAA batteries are required (not included).
