Edison Barcodes

Edison can read barcodes that tell him what to do.

Edison is preprogramed to be able to:

  • Clap Controlled Driving
  • Avoid Obstacles
  • Follow a torch/flashlight
  • Line Tracking
  • Bounce in Borders
  • Sumo Wrestle
  • Calibrate Obstacle Detection
  • Learn (TV/DVD) IR Remote (Forward, Back, Spin Right, Spin Left, Turn Right, Turn Left, Beep, Music)

 

To read a barcode:

  1. Place Edison in front of the barcode (on the arrow)
  2. Press the round record button three times
  3. Edison will drive forward and try to read the code
  4. If you hear a "happy" beep (low note - high note) he read it
  5. If you hear an "unhappy" beep (high note - low note) try again
  6. Press triangle play button
