Devices and Connecting
Devices and Connecting
Sphero connects via Bluetooth to an iPad or a Chromebook. On an iPad you will need to get the Sphero EDU app from Self- Service. On a Chromebook you will need to get the Sphero EDU app from the Google Play Store.
If this is the first time connecting your robot, it will automatically begin a firmware update.
If this is the first time connecting your robot, it will automatically begin a firmware update.
If you don't see your robot in the available robots list, it might be in "OFF" mode. To turn it "ON", simply place it in the charging cradle (or plug Mini in), let it complete its light animation, then remove it from the cradle and try connecting again.
Bolt
BOLT's programmable sensors include a compass, light sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, motor encoders, and infrared communications. Because of these advanced sensors, manually aiming your Sphero is now a thing of the past. BOLT’s built-in compass lets you automatically aim and drive your educational robot, plus you can program BOLT to follow real-world directions on a map. You can also code with the ambient light sensor that can tell if it’s light or dark, allowing for programming conditions based on brightness.
The Matrix
BOLT’s 8x8 LED light matrix allows you to program your robot using code to display characters, vector graphics, sensor data, or play games on the matrix itself. Sphero BOLT can also 'talk' to other BOLTs using 360° infrared communication. Become a storyteller using multiple robots and program advanced movements to carry out scenes. You won’t be able to take your eyes off it!
