What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

The IDE allows for direct sketching and editing for programs to be burned into microcontrollers, free of cost. It provides the simplest IDE for board management, inbuilt text editors, and libraries along with sharing with other users. In addition to inbuilt libraries, third-party libraries can be loaded externally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

The default light theme of the IDE causes stress to the user. Though many of the apps have evolved to make their dark/black variants Arduino IDE stills sticks on to the traditional light theme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Highly recommended for IoT enthusiasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Arduino has a dedicated board management module, where users can select the board as per the requirement. In case of changing the board, it can be easily changed from the dropdown menu which automatically updates the PORT data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Its ideally the best IDE for IoT Programing because it comes with a support of wide range of microcontrollers. You and easily add the new library support from the preferences to your sketch. Its very much easy for the beginner to start with a default sketch It also has a various example sketch ready to be directly dumped to the controller board.

The best part is we can manage the boards from the board manager and we can also verify the sketch for errors before uploading it. It also provides support for the serial communication with the controller board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

It does not support wide range of programming language, Sometimes when we are trying to upload the code very frequently it shows unnecessary error that com port is busy. There is no inbuilt code suggestion module in this IDE.

We can not debugger the code line by line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has been a very useful tool for me in many of my IoT project where It was easy for me to verify my sketch before uploading to the controller board. I was easily able to add the new controller board(Eso8266, Esp32) to the IDE for use. Adding new library support to the Sketch was also easy from the library manager.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Its interface is quite simple, which allows me to use it without any type of problem, the fact that it can code everything in a quite simple way compared to how it was done with other IDE's is something of great help to make my applications of In a much more fluid way, the amount of information and documentation that is obtained is something quite useful at the moment of starting in the development of the activities, since it is of great help to learn to use the entire application in a quite practical and simple way In the same way, this is something of great help when having to solve any type of problem that may arise while using the application, the fact that it supports a large number of microcontrollers and not exclusively ARDUINO type cards results from great help to make a lot of electronic developments for my university in a much faster and easier way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

It has little information regarding the coding language, as it is not a formal programming language, so accessing information and formal support of the language is quite problematic, apart from that I have no other type of complaint about the use of this application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has been helping me to learn more about the world of microcontrollers at the university, by allowing me to program in a much easier and more practical way a large number of electronic devices through the ARDUINO cards, which has been of great help to carry out a great variety of applications in a much more practical way.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

This tool is a support to the Arduino hardware like Uno, Nano, Micro etc. The tool comes along with libraries which will make your coding efforts simple and reduce the overall development time.

The example list is exhaustive and you can find example for all kind of sensors and actuators that you can interface with the Arduino hardware. It comes along with serial interface tool which will help you to program the board and also communicate with the board through UART.

It makes learning of Microprocessor and Microcontroller concepts simple and fun. The support in the open forums are very useful if you are doing something and if you would like to get answers for your doubts and questions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Using this tool for other development boards from other manufacturers is not easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

It has a verification feature for the code we developed. It has multiple supports of microcontroller boards like Arduino, esp32, esp8266, etc. It has more than 500+ libraries. It has proper documentation for the new users. It has serial monitors for the data in code. We can open project in any device which has installed Arduino IDE. A developer can easily develop small tasks and long projects of Arduino and other boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

It has less programming language support for the microcontroller. We want to select a port for uploading our code in it. It has not to support the suggestion while writing code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

It can be used easily. It has an easy installation process. It can be portable and can easy to use it any device which has installed Arduino ide installed. It can be learned on youtube or any other platform. It has a serial monitor for viewing sensors data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is free to use and also available easily on Microsoft. We can easily code in c language and also verified the error in code. We can upload code inboard by using data cable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
