Arduino is an open source platform that includes a lot of libraries for a whole variety of projects. Hence is the perfect tool (if using Arduino boards or compatible) to develop your DIY or work projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Recently they incorporated the arduine online IDE so there’s not much bad things I can think of Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Free, works well. It teaches computer programming with easy to build circuits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No tutorial lessons built in. It is difficult to see what is wrong when you have an error in your code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really enjoy how straightforward all the coding is on this platform. Everything from the presented errors to help debug the app to just the general functions just makes a lot of sense. It doesn't take much to debug any mistakes and is very customizable from the ability to choose how fast data is aquired from the arduino to what voltage is being applied. Ity is also very useful in day to day application as I use the BMP 180 add on to tell me the temperature it is outside every morning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike how little things such as the semi colon at the end of each line will bug up an entire code. When selecting auto format function it should be able to fix those small mistakes on its own. Also, reducing the amount of noise due to the power source would be greatly appreciated to make my data more accurate by improving the material in the circuitry.

Arduino IDE is a great, lightweight IDE to get any new Arduino developer up and running. There are few bells and whistles, and the fact that it's free means that the barrier to entry is relatively low. One of my favorite features is the Serial Monitor, which makes debugging projects much easier. Additionally, there is a fairly active community of users who can help with any issues you may encounter while writing Arduino code with this IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Line numbers! This IDE desperately needs line numbers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a simple C based coding program with a great reference library. The commands are basic and simple to understand. It only takes a few hours to get into the program and ready to program your project code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the code is absurdly complex for certain tasks. A YouTube video will take you in the wrong direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Arduino IDE is easy and simple - ideal for a begining of a jurney to IoT world. It's easily configurable and you need to set only few things to start working with your new microcontroler. You don't necessarily have to buy original Arduino board. Beacause Arduino IDE is modular and have strong community support you can download board definition and use microcontroler like ESP8266 or ESP32. It have all the based libraries and hudge database of external libraries that can be download by a click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Editor is very simple, to simple to be used with big, multifile project. It's missing basic functionalities of bigger commercial IDE like syntax auto-completion and good syntax highlighting. Your own library management could be painful. No git support build in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The bundled examples are very helpful. The community around the software is always nice and helpful. I think it's probably one of the most supportive communities that I know. The software also runs pretty much everywhere, so that's a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is a minimalist approach to whats needed for development tools. I understand that it falls more toward the hobbyist side, but if the goal is ease of use, make it easy to use with other IDEs as well. Both Jetbrains and VisualStudio offer great tools for working with C, why not build tools that are compatible with these? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
