Connecting Edison to a Computer

To connect Edison, plug the audio jack end

of the EdComm cable into the headphone
socket on your computer or tablet. The Interactive Stories

other end of the EdComm cable connects
to your Edison robot as shown.

Get Edison Ready

To get Edison ready for use, you need to complete the following three steps:

• Open the battery compartment at the back of Edison
• Remove the EdComm programming cable.

• Insert 4 ‘AAA’ batteries. Please refer to the picture and
ensure that the batteries are inserted correctly to avoid

damaging Edison. Be sure to reclose the battery case by
clipping the battery cover back on.

• Turn Edison on by flipping the robot over. Slide the power
switch to the ‘on’ position, as shown in the picture. Doing

this will turn Edison on. Edison will make a chirping beep
and the red LED lights will start flashing.
