To ensure that your program can be compiled and sent to the Edison robot, it is a good idea to check your connection with the EdScratch compiler.
Firmware
The firmware version in your Edison can be useful to know when talking to our tech support team. Check that here:
Programming method
This option enables you to swtich between USB and screen flash programming on this device.
Clear learned IR remote commands
This option allows you to clear all learned IR remote control commands from an Edison V3 robot.
Screen flash programming has been developed for Apple iPads. This is because Apple do not allow normal access to the iPad's data port. Therefore, screen flash programming is only fully supported for iPads. However, the screen flasher does work with some Android devices. The option below enables screen flash programming on this device. If this device is not an iPad then it is not guaranteed to work.
If the test above has the result "NO SERVER FOUND" then a firewall may be blocking access to the compiler.
To rectify this, ask your network administrator to whitelist these addresses:

The Edison V3 is programmed directly from your web browser via USB. This requires that your web browser supports USB connections.
Unfortunately, does not currently support USB connections, so cannot program your Edison V3 robot.
We recommend using Google Chrome.
Tips
Adjust screen brightness between 80% to 90%.
Move away from direct and in-direct sunlight or bright lights.
Ensure you have updated Edison V3 to the latest firmware.
