Get to know Edison
To use Edison you’re going to need to know where all his sensors are and what his three
buttons do. Have a look at the images below. You may need to come back and have
another look as we go through the EdVentures.
Play button – Start program
Stop button – Press to stop a program
Record button – 1 press = download program, 3 presses = read barcode
Edison’s line tracking sensor is made up
of two parts a red LED light and a light
sensor. The red LED shines light on the
ground, if the ground is white and
therefore, reflects light then the light
sensor will get a high light reading. If the
ground is black and therefore, does not
reflect light then the light sensor gets a
low light reading.
The EdComm cable is used to download
programs to Edison. It connects into the
headphone socket on your computer or tablet.
