Step 3

Ari is set to BLE by default. Swipe from top to bottom to put Ari in WiFi mode. WiFi will then be highlighted in green at the top of Ari’s screen. You will see “No internet connection” if you have not connected Ari to a WiFi network, or if previously connected networks are not in range.

Step 4

Go to this Editor Link. Make sure to use Chrome browser.

Step 5

Press “+Ari” in the Devices tab on the right side.

Step 6

Select Connect over WiFi in the drop-down menu. Press “Connect Ari”.

Step 7

Choose your Ari in the BLE pop-up menu. You can find Ari’s BLE name on the left side of its screen. If you do not get this pop-up, try again using an incognito browser in Chrome.

Step 8

A list of scanned WiFi networks will appear. Please note: Ari can only connect to 2.4 GHz networks. 

Select the network that you want to connect to, press “Connect”, and enter the passphrase. Alternatively, choose “Enter network”, and type the network name (SSID) and passphrase you wish to join.

Step 9

When Ari has connected to your WiFi network and authenticated to the Editor, you will see “Ready” above the Ari name in the Device Manager panel.

Step 10

Lastly, you will see “Connected to Editor” on Ari’s screen, which means you can now create and run programs on Ari with the Editor!
