What devices and operating systems can you use with Edison robots?
Edison robots are compatible with most tablets, desktop computers, laptops and Chromebooks.
All of the Edison robotics programming languages can be accessed through a browser, meaning there is nothing to download onto the programming devices you use, enabling you to program Edison on tablets, iPads and Chromebooks as well as laptops and desktop computers.
Edison V1 and V2 robots will require an audio jack input to allow Edison to connect using the EdComm cable. The EdComm cable is the special cable used to download programs to Edison V1 and V2 robots from any of the Edison robotics programming languages and connects to your tablet, computer or Chromebook using the programming device’s audio jack input. The other end of the EdComm cable connects to the underside of your Edison robot, near the power switch. This communication method is compatible with Mac, Linux, Windows, iOS and Android operating systems.
Edison V3 robots can be programmed by connecting the USB-A cable to your device or utilising the screen flasher for iOS devices. Edison V3 is compatible with Windows, Chromebook, Mac, Linux and Android.
