This is a placeholder topic for “Edison Robot V3” comments.
More than just a robot! The Edison robot is a powerful, engaging tool for teaching kids STEM, computational thinking and computer programming in a hands-on way.
Read moreHello, I’m a home schooling parent looking into getting an Edison V3 for my 8 year old son. We don’t have a computer with usb connection. Can the Edison V3 be programmed via the on screen download on an iPad?
Also do you have the remote available to buy for the Edison V3?
Kind regards,
Emma
I think you can program the Edison V3 using an iPad through screen flash programming. The Edison V3 robot can be controlled using infrared (IR) remote controls.
Hi Emma,
You should be able to program the Edison V3 from your iPad through the web interface without any trouble. If you have a cable adapter to connect the USB B side of the Edison cable to your iPad this would work otherwise you can use the on screen flasher to achieve the same result.
It doesn’t look like you need any particular remote to work with the Edison V3 as it can detect signals from most IR remotes that are available. The Edison tutorial for this recommends just using an old TV remote. We do stock generic IR remotes that would work if needed.
This one should do the trick!
Hope this helps!
