What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Free, works well. It teaches computer programming with easy to build circuits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Careful to use available books that teach you. The books often leave out important steps or the program does not work as shown. Search for the lesson or project online, more experienced users have solutions posted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

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.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

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.

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

From normal coding procedures to seeing how warm it is outside, the arduino is used for many different things in the workplace. We can find almost any add on to suit our needs and solve our problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

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.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Line numbers! This IDE desperately needs line numbers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

This is a great place to start when learning Arduino. Try to pressure the developers to add line numbers, though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Arduino IDE is how I learned to write programs for my Arduino. Professionally, I am a software developer, but I have recently been moving myself towards learning more software/hardware integration. Arduino and this IDE have been a great introduction to the topic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

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.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

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.

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

Sometimes its simpler to get rid of all your code and start new, which is annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

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.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

If your thing about IoT git Arduino and Arduino IDE a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easy start for junior developers to a IoT world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

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.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Its the right tool for certain kinds of jobs. Outside of that, its just fun to play around with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've used Arduino for several kinds of different custom automation and integrating with hardware. Using this system over a $200 setup saved the department about $170 per install (Arduinos being about $30). You can also find off-brands for cheaper, but i don't mind supporting the creators.
