What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Is it very simple to program on the interface and load the code into the Arduino. In addition, it is very simple to add additional libraries from github or from the library provided by the Arduino IDE itself. It has a very good compilation method, which lets you know if you have some sort of mistake. Also, you can upload your code to a variety of different boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

From time to time the app crashes. You need to create a folder to save a file. Also, sometimes the code won't upload to the board, which might be resolved by restarting the board or the computer. In addition, the IDE does not find the board on the list of available ports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

If you ever need help while working on your project, you can always google your needs and you might find a similar project. That way, you can have a guide in case you need it. Also, you can check the basic code packages that can be found in the IDE for some help as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Very good for developing prototypes from scratch and there is a wide range of boards you can use depending on the requirements of the projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Arduino IDE is a light weight application which allows you to work with a wide range of boards. It has a very simple interface and simple programming language i.e. C. One of the best things that I find about this IDE is the libraries. They really help a great deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Debugging becomes a difficult task because of the absence of line numbers. This is quite irritating at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My team uses this IDE for implementing many of the IOT projects. The sketches can be saved and shared which can be reviewed by others as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

I enjoy the ease of use of the code editor, compiler, and loader. The Arduino IDE allows developers to build software (using 3rd party libraries), compile the program code, and deploy to the microcontroller. The IDE also provides a logger to receive text logging to display console logging, which is invaluable for troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

At times it's a bit slow when pushing new code to each board. I cannot be certain if this is a limitation of the software or the board, or even the processor of the loading computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

If you know how to code, particularly in C/C++, this Arduino IDE will be a cinch for you. If you have any sort of background in programming, you'll be fine too. There are plenty of literature and online tutorials for this product and the Arduino family. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our company creates software and I am a developer that is looking to add microcontroller IoT to our software products. I use the Arduino IDE exclusively to build and test software for the devices. The IDE is a solid "standard" that allows me to create software for a wide variety of boards quickly without dealing with the nuances of each board or separate IDE's.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Easy code push to the circuits on click of a button.

Run time and compile time errors.

Pushes the code to circuits only if it is error free.

Easy to connect and write codes for different types of devices and FTDI's using board manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

It is very slow compared to other software like Eclipse Arduino.

Although its an IDE, there is no debugging features.

Although its an IDE, there is no intellisense, which is very useful for even a small-to-medium scale project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Remotely controlling devices connected to same network within a building.

Logging data to a server without using huge CPU towers and display/monitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

The online community around Arduino is what makes it the best. There are so many libraries created by users online that allow you to accomplish virtually any project. It's a breeze to implement additional software filters, timers, integrate sensors, and program screens thanks to work that has been done my previous users. And the intuitive coding system makes it easy to create new features on your own and share them with others. The boards are super high quality and there are a wide variety available depending on your project needs. Great for beginners and with enough features to satisfy the experts! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

There's always a new version of the arduino IDE and I often find that an older version works better for connecting to some boards...I wish these versions were more consistent and had fewer bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Try it out! There's plenty of beginner projects that don't have to be super intimidating, and you'll catch on quickly for the larger stuff! It's not just for work, it can be for fun too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Arduino to jumpstart and experiment with new product designs, and even build prototype units for benchtop and clinical testing. It's easy to make a proof of concept with an arduino in a short amount of time. Even though they are pricier than using standalone microcontrollers, the breadth of features and ease of use makes them great for a start up trying new things.
