Getting started with Edison V3
These critical steps and quick references will help you to set up your Edison robot for
success every time!
Paper: Do not use glossy paper and only ever use matte-finish
lamination. This is especially important for barcodes and line tracking.
Avoid sunlight: Sunlight confuses Edison’s sensors. Avoid using the
robot in bright, direct sunlight.
Barcodes: Print barcodes on non-glossy paper and only use a matte-
finish lamination if laminating.
Make sure Edison’s skid is in before reading barcodes.
Line tracking programs: Always start Edison on the white surface,
never on the black surface.
Detecting lines: Use dark (e.g. black) lines approximately 1.5cm (0.6
inches) wide on a white background.
Obstacle detection calibration: Adjust Edison’s obstacle detection
with the obstacle detection barcode. See
https://meetedison.com/obstacle-detection-calibration/ for detailed
instructions.
Detecting obstacles: Choose obstacles that are opaque but not too
dark (e.g. not black) and at least as tall as Edison.
Driving straight: If Edison is not driving straight, try the drive
calibration barcode here: https://meetedison.com/edison-robot-
