What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

The example sketches included with the package really helps a lot.

And also it is really easy to add new libraries from internet.

And the best thing is there are very few things one needs to learn in this IDE, you get used to it real quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

The downside is the COM port selection process. It always creates havoc , sometimes for no reason at all.

Sometimes it has some issues with the newly added libraries.

I would strongly recommend a portal where we can get all the files to patch up with IDE directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

It is the best thing out there. Just keep one tab open in your browser for sometime and you'll be good to go.

Go for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been working with the robotics club NIT Patna, and have worked on quite a lot of projects now. And I always used Arduino IDE to program the boards. So I would say... So far so good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

The best thing about it is that it's ease of use because it is very simple and very easy to use in terms of dealing with the complex processes management and sketch (code writing, uploading, compiling, execution)management.the second best thing I like the most is that it provides us the integrated libraries which helps us the most to learn the basics and we can use it for our project work.i like everything about it from connecting the Arduino board to it to the final execution of the project . it is very helpful in learning and in iot project creation and deployment as well.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Helpful about Arduino IDE is that

It is a good environment for begginers.

The programming language which is used in this is c language which is easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Actually there are many likes about this IDE that it hides all its dislikes .

Dislike are :-

It can't able to automatically detect the boards whether it is Arduino ,node mcu,etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Use this environment because it is easy to use.

This IDE not only support only Arduino boards but also numbers of different boards like node mcu( esp8266).

Thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As it is an easy to use environment.

Problem which I have faced with this IDE is that sometimes it can't able to detect the usb cable.

The port selection is sometimes becomes tough and because of this we cannot able to proceed further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

I really like Arduino IDE because it is a very user-friendly and easy-to-understand interface, it has several basic programming examples in C language by default, this helps the user a lot when programming peripherals on the Arduino board. Arduino IDE has great tools where we can choose the serial port and the speed at which we want to work. When programming, the program tells you which lines of code are wrong, this can help us a lot in very long programs. The color system in the lines of code is very understandable for the user. A very useful tool is the serial monitor, where we can see on our screen the digital and analog inputs and outputs of the program we are making, it is very useful to have real data on our programming. Another great point is including libraries in the Arduino IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

I don't like the fact that Arduino IDE doesn't have online adaptations, it would be nice to program from the cloud. Sometimes during the compilation of a very extensive program, it is difficult to find the error since Arduino IDE doesn't specifically search for the error. The software has some flaws when it comes to connecting with the physical Arduino board, and this generates problems during the compilation of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

With this software, I have created many programs for my studies and my work, with this platform I have been able to create programs that work only virtually and/or physically. Since it works on C language programming, it is very simple, this has helped me create numerous projects in a short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I advise all Arduino IDE users that when the program does not load, their Arduino board connects and disconnects the cable from the serial port, they can also change the internal port configuration from Windows in Device Manager. This program is excellent for creating small robotics projects, so I recommend using it for these cases, Arduino IDE is an excellent compiler for this type of project.
