Step 1

Briefing video

If you want to jump right into using your robot with our 11 default programs, this video shows you how to do that!

Step 2

What's on the board?

Make sure all of the DIP switches are down so that the Smart Inventor board is not in programming mode! Then turn your board on.

Step 3

Select the program

Touch the left IR sensor to make the blue LED move left, and touch the right IR sensor to make the blue LED move right. Once you’re on the program that you want, touch the center IR sensor to select it. Make sure you don’t accidentally touch the left or right sensor when you’re doing this — the Smart Inventor board might get confused!
