2. Press the record (round) button 3 times 3. Wait while Edison drives forward and scans the barcode What to do To run the program, place Edison down on a flat surface and press the play (triangle) button. Now, with your hands close to Edison, clap your hands one time. The robot will turn right. Now clap your hands twice. Edison will drive forward about 30cm. Next, try tapping Edison with your finger, first one time, then two times. EdFact Sound sensors just like the one in your Edison are used in modern cars to detect when the engine fires each cylinder. This information is fed to the car’s computer to ensure that the firing is occurring at just the right time. If the engine is firing too late, it can cause damage to the engine. Ensuring that the firing is happening at just the right time also ensures the most economical fuel consumption. EdVenture 2 Avoid obstacles – Edison can invisible light, called infrared light, and use it to detect obstacles. ‘see’ This barcode activates Edison’s obstacles’ program. This program drives Edison ‘Avoid forward. Then, when an obstacle is detected, the robot reverses and then turns on the spot away from the obstacle. Then Edison will continue to drive forward. Read the barcode 1. Place Edison above the arrow on the right side, facing the barcode 2. Press the record (round) button 3 times 3. Wait while Edison drives forward and scans the barcode
