## Online Mode (<font style="color:rgb(64, 64, 64);background-color:rgb(252, 252, 252);">Interactive Mode）</font>
### Usage Introduction
In Online Mode, the ICRobot can communicate with the PC via Serial Port, Bluetooth, AP, or STA, allowing you to program and control the robot to perform actions.

| Step 1. After both the ICRobot and the programming software are powered on, switch the software mode to Online Mode. Then select the device and the connection method. (For connection options and detailed steps, refer to Serial Port Connection Mode, Bluetooth Connection Mode, Wireless Access Point (AP) Mode, and Client (STA) Mode.) | Step 2. Once the selection is successful, the Block Commands panel will automatically load the ICRobot-related extension blocks. |

| Step 3.  Drag the required blocks into the Coding Area to create your program. | Step 4. After programming is complete, click the green flag to execute the program and observe the result. |


### Example
#### Scenario
Using AP mode, ICRobot connects to the PC and moves forward at full power for 1 second, then activates its robotic gripper once.

## Download Mode
### Usage Introduction
The programming content can be downloaded to the ICRobot and executed on the robot. The download steps are as follows:

1. In the software, confirm the target download slot/location for the program.
2. Download the program to the built-in program storage of Robot Car 1–5.
3. Based on the program content, control the robot to execute the corresponding action commands.

| Step 3. Drag the command blocks into the Coding Area to create the program. While dragging the blocks, the Python Coding Area will display the corresponding Python code for each block. | Step 4. After completing the programming, click the Download option in the Hardware Control Panel to download the programmed content to the ICRobot’s built-in program storage (with 5 available slots: 1–5). |


### Example
#### Scenario
The ICRobot connects to the PC via STA Mode, making the robot move forward at maximum power for 1 second. After that, the display shows the custom dot matrix effect. The program content is downloaded to the built-in program storage at position 3.
