2. When EdBlocks opens click ‘Menu’ and select ‘Load Demos.’ Select the program
called ‘Test_Program’ which will load in the programming environment.
3. Plug the Edison V3 robot’s USB cable in to the computer’s USB-A port.
4. From the Edblocks app, press the ‘Program’ button (top right corner).
5. A popup window will appear asking to connect to Edison V3. Select ‘Edison V3 –
Paired’ and click ‘connect’.
6. The program will download to Edison V3 and you will hear the ‘success’ sound
(the same tune Edison plays when you turn Edison on).
7. Disconnect Edison from the USB port and press the triangle button on Edison to
