    Getting Started, Robotics and Coding – Edison

    This is a guide on how to get started using the Edison Programmable Robot

    • You can access the Edison home page with this link to the Edison home page

    https://meetedison.com/why-edison-robot/







    The home page contains a lot of information about Edison Robots, you could spend a few minutes and explore this. To begin programming and using Edison you need to open the programming software. Edison uses Scratch based programming, to access this either click on programming, select ‘edscratch’ and enter or use the link below;


    https://meetedison.com/robot-programming-software/edscratch/


    You will see this page which is the programming page for Edison, you will always need this page to use your Edison so bookmark it.






    The screen shows the nine different parts of the Edison programming system, clicking on each coloured icon shows the various blocks of Scratch code used to build programmes. The area to the right of the blocks is where the programme is built.

    Task 1 – Barcode programming

    Reading the barcode

     

    1. Place Edison on the arrow facing the barcode
    2. Press the record (round) button 3 times
    3. Edison will drive forward and scan the barcode

     

    Now press play (triangle) to run the program.

     barcode programming

    WALT-
    Understand technical coding languages and follow instructions to programme a robot successfully.

    SC-
    I can understand and follow the steps in the instructions to programme the robot and test if it works as intended.

    Please also familiarise yourselves with the micro:bit instructions for the next stage of programming.


    See you in the class!

  • 18 February - 24 February

    Dear Class,


    I hope you have enjoyed working with Edison and revised what you learnt about Edison last year.


    From this week onwards, we will start to work with micro:bit. please check through the attached guides for a start, and we will go through more detail in the class.




    WALT-

    • Understand how technological systems employ control to allow for the transformation of inputs to outputs.

    SC-

    • Can use technological systems to understand and communicate using Microbit coding.
    • Can work with sensors and infrared to control the mainboard output.
