Getting Started with the Autonomous Kit for the Sphero RVR
STEP 1: Connect the Sphero RVR to the App!
Although the Sphero RVR (pronounced: rover or ˈrōvər) is NOT included with these kits, in our collaboration with Sphero, they made it abundantly clear that it was imperative for users to perform this action before connecting a Raspberry Pi to the RVR. So, before you proceed any further, please be sure to connect your Sphero RVR to the Sphero EDU App to update the firmware.
Important: Update Your Firmware to Unlock Your RVR
First things first, you must connect your RVR to the EDU App before connecting it to a development board (i.e. Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or micro:bit), in order to ensure that it has the most up-to-date firmware.
You can always check back on the Sphero SDK firmware update page for firmware version updates or, if you want Sphero to do all the legwork, add yourself to Sphero's updates email list to get notifications about all of the stuffs. Sphero will always try to keep things backwards compatible, but there are instances where it will be imperative that they repair something that simply won't align with previous versions of the firmware, since Sphero doesn't want that getting in the way of your fun.
