Programs on OneKitProjects can be downloaded and loaded directly on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Some common configurations are described below.

​

iPhone or iPad (Use Safari)

1. Make sure you have the LEGO MINDSTORMS Inventor app (made by LEGO) installed on the device.

2. From a project page on OneKitPrograms, scroll down to the Programming section and tap the Download button.

3. The program(s) will download, but nothing will load automatically. If the project has multiple programs, they will all download.

4. Using the built-in Files app on your device, find and open your Downloads folder, which is typically under iCloud Drive at the top of the Browse hierarchy.

5. The downloaded program(s) will be in a single zip file (compressed folder) that starts with the name of the project. Tap the zip file to open ("unzip") it. A new folder will appear with the same name as the zip file. 

6. Tap the new folder to open it. You should see a LEGO MINDSTORMS (.lms) file for each program in the project.

7. Tap the program file you want, and it should open in the LEGO MINDSTORMS Inventor app on your phone, ready to run or download to your robot.
