1. A method of connecting to a self-propelled device, the method performed by one or more processors of a mobile computing device and comprising:

  • detecting a radio signal emitted from the self-propelled device;

    providing an accurate signal strength measurement, wherein providing the accurate signal strength measurement comprises stabilizing a received signal strength indicator associated with the radio signal;

    generating a stabilized signal strength indicator;

    based on the stabilized signal strength indicator, generating a dynamic representation of a signal strength of the radio signal;

    displaying the dynamic representation of the signal strength on a touch-sensitive display of the mobile computing device; and

    when the signal strength crosses a predetermined threshold, automatically connecting to the self-propelled device.
