It seemed like no matter what happened, at some point the Sphero SPRK+ would eventually get into some sort of bad or sleep kind of state at which point it would refuse the Bluetooth connection. Sometimes, the connection was also successful giving some hope, only to see it dashed later when connect was lost again. Here again the Sphero was often not found.

Again, we went to the App Store to download and install this App. We also tried to connect to the Sphero SPRK+ by using the Sphero App.
To connect to the Sphero SPRK+ over Bluetooth SMART, all you need to do is bring the 9.7-inch iPad Pro close to the Sphero SPRK+. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro does not use the traditional Bluetooth pairing process do don't try to pair the device from the iPad's Bluetooth settings or you'll just get a warning message stating that pairing was unsuccessful. We could even see that even in the 9.7-inch iPad Pro's Bluetooth screen, the 'SK-90A2' representing the Sphero alternated between connected and not connected.s The App would then repeat connecting and disconnecting to the Sphero SPRK+. For example, when trying to directly drive the Sphero SPRK+, the App would report that 'SPRK+ Connected' followed by 'Robot Disconnected'. While sometimes the Bluetooth connection between the Sphero SPRK+ and the 9.7-inch iPad Pro worked, invariably at some point the connection became lost. You can also directly start the program to run on your Sphero SPRK+ from the editor by pressing the Start button. To set up the Sphero SPRK+ on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, you should download the the SPRK Learning Lab App from the App Store.Īfter opening up the Lightning Lab App, you will need to sign in with your Lightning Lab account or create a new one if you don't have on already.īy default, you can create programs using blocks but there is also an option to use the App's Canvas editor to create text based programs using Sphero's C-like Oval language.

It's hard to write a lot of code using a phone so tablets like the 9.7-inch iPad Pro are a better coding development platform, especially when paired with the Smart Keyboard for 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
The Sphero SPRK+ is a great way to learn about programming and robotics and it's easier to write your code on the same device that you want to control the Sphero SPRK+.
