What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Arduino is a development environment that will allow us to program the controller boards of Arduino UNO and other similar boards that exist using a programming language similar to C. We will be able to create real moving robots that, with the appropriate sensors, react to external stimuli through their actuators. There is a wide variety of Arduino elements for sale, and we can do everything with our development environment, which is not only versatile but also free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

If you use it in teaching with young students, it can be very difficult for them to start in a development environment like Arduino. But there are very attractive graphical options (S4A) with which Arduino can be complemented thanks to its compatibility. So this problem would be solved.

Another disadvantage is that the Arduino software is of little use if it is not followed by a strong investment in boards, cards, sensors, and actuators.

Otherwise, I have no complaints, as I am delighted with Arduino. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

I recommend Arduino for creating robotic projects easily and simply with students. There is even a module called S4A that makes the programmer's task easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arduino IDE solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have used Arduino with students ranging from 11 to 15 years old and they love it. We have made cars that avoid obstacles, fans that turn on when it's hot, alarms that detect movement, etc. We have installed Scratch For Arduino (S4A) which helped them a lot in creating the programs, as it is not with a written language but with puzzle-like pieces that they place.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Arduino is an excellent software development environment that will allow you to program the Arduino ONE boards and, with the necessary components, create fantastic dynamic automatons. Arduino also allows integration with another software called Scratch for Arduino, which with a very simple interface, you will be able to program the boards with the Arduino microcontroller and carry out amazing projects. You will be able to read the information collected by the sensors (light, motion, proximity, sound, there are a thousand types!!), process it thanks to the program developed with Arduino IDE, and obtain outputs that will activate the actuators (motion, sound,). It is ideal for working with children, they will love the robots that can be created, and they might even be encouraged to program themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Sometimes it freezes and takes a long time to load the program from the PC via USB to the Arduino ONE board. If you have never programmed before or want to encourage the little ones to program robots, they will encounter an interface that is neither modern nor user-friendly. That is why S4Arduino should be installed on top to facilitate programming through blocks instead of the typical syntax of a conventional programming language. You need an extra expense on electronic components for the board we are going to program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

It will allow you to program Arduino ONE boards and create very eye-catching, almost intelligent projects, as long as you have the necessary physical components for your project. So keep in mind that you need not only software but also hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arduino IDE solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Arduino to load the programs onto the Arduino ONE base boards. Then, with the proper configuration of the sensors and actuators, the cables, and the protoboard, we achieve different functionalities. We have programmed with Arduino IDE the necessary programs so that the lights of a house turn on automatically at night, a traffic light detects when a pedestrian presses the button to turn green, a thermal sensor that turns on a fan... And all in a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

I like it, really easy. It teaches computer programming with soft circuits to build. The software program also works quite well everywhere, so it is a massive advantage. It is an easy coding program mainly based on C with an amazing reference library "in the reason of the very critical project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Organizing a larger company within the Arduino IDE is, without a doubt, hellish, and I switched to the NetBeans plugin for my advanced stuff. Additionally, the reduction in the amount of noise due to the power supply will be substantially favored so that my information is more accurate with the help of improving the material within the circuits. Also, the IDE does not discover the board in the list of ports to be had. When you assemble an application, it rearranges your code before passing it to the C compiler, so you will often find mysterious compilation errors that reference lines in a temporary document that you cannot see before it is destroyed. It is quite difficult to apply for younger children who have never had contact with programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

In this way, you can have a guide if you wish. It is an incredible region to start while learning Arduino. If you have any kind of historical background in programming, you will also be first class. Books often miss important steps or the program does not work as shown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arduino IDE solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some of my university students use Arduino to build devices for tasks where Arduino is quite easy to start. It is definitely smoother than the "write in Notepad, compile in the command line" method I've seen for Java. In the way of using the software, I once faced failing problems.

Additionally, the language used is primarily based on C or C++, very simple and clean to use. The Student project carried out through this software program can handle complicated algorithms appropriately and is fast. Furthermore, this software includes all the drivers that can apply the unique flavors of Arduino forums. Very suitable for small digital projects, especially for someone who is being introduced to technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

I wish those variations had been more consistent and had fewer errors. A YouTube video will take you in the wrong direction. The IDE is quite simple and does what it needs to do. Additionally, the reduction in the amount of noise due to the power supply can be substantially appreciated. It crashes from time to time, but other than that, it's ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Be careful to use books that teach you, it is a high-quality way for paintings on integrated hardware design, even if you have not written any code before you will have many tutorials and could start building tremendous matters in much less than an hour. There are a multitude of amateur initiatives that should not be very intimidating, and you can quickly grasp the most important things. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to start with Arduino. I advise all people who are starting programming and embedded desires. Ease of use and capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arduino IDE solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is compatible with different forums, which allows me to develop codes for extraordinary platforms that we use in our company. The IDE is a stable "general" that allows me to create software for a wide variety of forums quickly without handling the nuances of each board or the independent IDEs. I work with some controls with Arduino, for example, manipulating the server room enthusiasts and managing the temperature with sensors and relays. Hardware coding. From everyday coding methods to seeing how the exterior heats up, Arduino is used for many things within the administrative center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
