What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

The Arduino IDE is perfect for small coding, large projects suffer a bit with lack of recusses, but for beginners, the IDE is perfectly fine. As our goal is rapid prototyping, the Arduino IDE is the best option. Dozens of libraries help our development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Lack of autocompletion and one of the features that most dislike programmers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Lack of autocomplete, so it is good to memorize the commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

The arduino IDE is great for beginners in embedded programming. It has sufficient resources for those who need to program and not get lost amid so many things. The programmed can choose the device or board that will program, can choose the port that will use, among other benefits. In addition, the language used is based on C / C ++ very simple and easy to use. IDE brings a series of ready-made examples for the person to use and already has many libraries ready to go using any extra components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

In the arduino IDE there are two features missing: The first is that the debug that does not exist, to simulate the debug I need to create add snippets of code in the programming. The second is the identation of the IDE which is very bad, very close to the guide line. These are the only two problems I saw in Arduino. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

I recommend to anyone who is starting an embedded programming and needs ease of use and features. In addition people who do not want to spend too much, an IDE is free and an open project. Great for anyone looking for ease and simplicity in their projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used the arduino to make an auto stand. He walked alone by any environment and if he encountered an obstacle on the way he would stop and check which was the best way out and if there was one he would take it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Arduino makes things easy. Like, really easy. You don't need to know that you're compiling C and getting it through the Atmel toolchain; you just hit "upload" and select your serial port and it works. It's' fantastic for beginners, and can be used to teach programming and electronics to people with no experience. The built-in libraries are useful and allow you to easily use common components (servos, LCD screens) without learning the details of the protocol yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Arduino makes it easy, but it comes at a cost. The IDE makes it very difficult to program anything advanced. It is difficult or impossible to use local libraries in a file (they have to be installed on the user's libraries folder, so no portable repos). When you compile a program, it rearranges your code before passing it to the C compiler, so you'll often come across mysterious compile errors that reference lines in a temp file that you can't see before it's destroyed. Organizing a larger project in the Arduino IDE is absolutely hellish, and I switched over to a NetBeans plugin for my advanced stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Great for teaching intro programming things or medium usage. Once you're familiar with the platform, awful for very large or complicated projects or anything with more than a few header files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Arduino to teach kids programming and electronics. The IDE is an integral part of that, because it gets kids using a "real" programming language, but hides away some of the messier details of compiler flags, etc. For that purpose, I think it's a good choice. It's certainly gentler than the "write in Notepad, compile on command-line" approach that I've seen taken with Java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Can be tricky using add on kits figuring certain functions out following the learning period but youtube can save confusion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Great product! I would hands down recommend for learning circuits and basic electronic functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Arduino IDE is the key to create interactions between your computer and external hardware from all the Arduino universe products. It's a great way to start getting in to the programming languages world mainly because of all the community support offered around this platform nowadays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Even though it's a relatively easy to learn software, there are some details that are not really clear and you have to do a lot of research to understand all the capabilities of the program. I would like some kind of guided tutorial to get the basics at least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

A great way of quickly picking up the software basics is getting some examples from internet and then studying them line by line, this way you can completely understand what's going on even before writing your first code lines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Arduino it's a great way of prototyping electronic products. it's an easy and fast way to learning in early stages of the design process. So, you can save money learning early. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

The things I like best about the Arduino IDE is that is is easy to find examples and use libraries from within the program itself, helping make the code more accessible to beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

I dislike the lack of customization and spellcheck, which makes it more difficult for those with vision problems or learning disabilities to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

I would recommend saving code often and making templates to save and work from in the IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been teaching Computer Science and Engineering using Arduinos and Lilypads for three years, and the students really respond to making a motor run or a light go on and off, so this program enables them to make this happen easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
