The Root® coding robots are designed to be used with the iRobot Coding App. The iRobot Coding App is compatible with devices running most major, up-to-date operating systems, including Web, iOS, and Android.
To connect your Root® coding robots to the iRobot Coding App, your device must have support for Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) technology. When connecting to your robot using the online Web App, please also ensure you are using a browser that supports Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) technology.
For the advanced coders out there, we have published the Root® coding robots’ Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) protocol, so that experienced makers can start creating their own advanced projects with the robot. This link should provide enough information for you to connect to and use the robot with any hardware that supports BLE using the programming language and Bluetooth® library of your choice.
Please note: This requires advanced coding experience and some understanding of how BLE works. To help you get started, we have included a basic sample script that runs on a Raspberry Pi® 3 to drive your Root® coding robots using arrow keys.
