There are two options to connect your computer to your hub, through cable or bluetooth.
To connect through cable, all you need to do is plug in the cable to your computer and hub, and they should be connected! This is also the way you charge the hub's battery.
Usually it is preferred to connect through bluetooth, because you can move your robot basically anywhere in a room! That means if you want to see the sensor readings or what a variable's value is, while the robot is moving, it is way easier to connect through bluetooth. In the video we have shown you how to do it. The main things you need to do are:
- Turn on the hub, that is done by pressing and holding the middle button for 1-2 seconds
- Turn on bluetooth, that is done by just pressing the bluetooth button
- Find your brick and connect to it, that is done in the app and is shown in the video how to get there
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
Stay @ Home SPIKE Prime Course
An introduction to the SPIKE Prime set! In this course you will have access to 7 3D instructions for SPIKE Prime robots, exploring the possibilities of the base set. After you build them, you can give them life using our cool programs that do various things, from just moving the robot forward, to finding the closest object to it.
After that, if you are up to the challenge, we have prepared some hard additional tasks. They aim to make you research solutions for modifications to the program and the robot. Of course, you can always make your own additions to the robots and have fun with it!

Lesson 1 - Larva robot
Introduction
In this lesson you are going to make Larvy, the SPIKE larva robot. It is called that, because it moves like a larva or a caterpillar! Its program is very simple as its core consists of only 3 movement blocks in a loop. We, however, have complicated it a little so that it runs more smoothly and consistantly! You can read more about the program in its description.
But first, lets build the robot!!!
