Remotely control Phiro Pro in six different ways via Bluetooth:
* Random (dice)
* Key programming (simple code sequences)
* Drive using a steering wheel or the inclination sensors of your device
* Use the compass of your phone
* Control using face detection of your phone
* Control using sound detection

Description:

Phiro Play comes with six unique applications, such as face detection, control your robot with sound, remote control car, navigate with simple buttons, compass game, and virtual dice.

Note that the face detection and compass game functions work best if the phone is mounted on top of the Phiro robot. For the compass game, the phone should be mounted such that is attached flat on top of the robot compared to the floor.

To use Phiro Play, you need a Phiro Pro robot. To learn more about Phiro, please visit Phiro's website: http://catrob.at/Phiro

To initially pair your phone and your Phiro Pro robot (this needs to be done only once), please turn your robot on, then press the red button on top of the robot with the three rounded arrows two times, until the display area is illuminated in blue color (this switches your robot to its Bluetooth mode). Then, on your phone, scan for new Bluetooth devices, identify the robot (its name contains the number printed on the underside of your robot), select its entry, and enter the code '1234' to pair your phone and your robot.

Each time when you use Phiro Play, please make sure to turn on Bluetooth on your Phiro Pro, by pressing the red button on top of the robot with the three rounded arrows two times, until the display area is illuminated in blue color (this switches your robot to its Bluetooth mode). Then, on your phone, after starting Phiro Play, select the right Bluetooth device containing the number printed on the underside of your robot.

To create your own apps like Phiro Play directly on your phone, please use Phiro Code, one of our coding apps. Direct link: http://catrob.at/PhiroCode
