# Programming the Robot via Software
## Definition

## Connection Methods
There are two available wireless connection modes between ICRobot and the ICreateCode platform: Access Point Mode (AP) and Station Mode (STA)

For setup instructions, refer to the guide on AP Mode and STA Mode configuration.

## Programming Modes
