New to Edison?

Discover how to get your robot ready for your learning EdVenture!

These two videos will introduce you to your Edison robot and teach you how to download and run a program in your robot.

You can also find out more about your Edison robot’s built-in sensors, outputs and motors and download the free Getting started with Edison guide for a complete introduction to your robot’s capabilities and a step-by-step walk-through for setting up your device for programming fun.

Getting started with Edison

This video will walk you through the basics for getting started with Edison.

How to program your Edison robot

This two-part video will first show you how to download a program from one of the programming languages to your Edison robot. In the second part of this video, you will learn what is actually happening when you download a program to your robot.
