What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

It helped me to develop interfacing with sensors such as water pump sensor, ultrasonic sensor, temperature sensor, soil moist indicator sensor and a motor. I couldn’t easily manage to do a personalised automated garden system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Arduino IDE software had issues in the old build, but in later builds they had removed those bugs. Few were I couldn’t connect my arduino board to the computer as it couldn’t recognise it. Though sometimes i have issues, i will have to generally uninstall and install the ide and drivers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

For beginners I strongly recommend using this kit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mainly i could solve wastage of water. I coded such that each plant had a different code depending upon its water requirements. Also i could automatically create an alarm for flooded overhead tank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Arduino Ide, is the best software to connect with the Arduino boards, offers compatibility for the entire Arduino universe, in addition the community that supports the software is in constant development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Perhaps being such a powerful tool one of the few things I do not like, is that for a basic user, you may feel overwhelmed by the number of options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

My advice to the community is that do not try other software to program Arduino, Arduino Ide is the best option of all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The Arduino universe has many development boards, the great advantage that Arduino Ide has is that when you download a library, with it come multiple examples that help a lot when programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

The best part is the versatility it offers students to develop their own programs to implement on the board and microcontroller Arduino Uno or similar. Multiple projects can be adapted to the skills of each of the levels of secondary education. We have made a greenhouse with an Arduino 1 board, a light sensor, and a motor that operated a fan. From Arduino, we programmed the sensors and actuators. The program allows for pre-compilation to detect syntax errors. Once error-free, the object code obtained from the source is transferred to the Arduino ONE board via USB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

It is quite difficult to use for younger children who have never had contact with programming. Fortunately, there are add-ons like Scratch 4 Arduino that make this task easier through very simple graphical interfaces for the little ones. You need to have quite a bit of Arduino hardware material to be able to test the programs, which is somewhat expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

For the youngest, combine with S4ARDUINO as it will greatly facilitate the learning of students with less exposure to software development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The beginning in programming for people who have never had contact with it and the development of different intelligent and moving models. For example, light sensors that activate a motor to lower a blind, heat detectors to start a fan, motors for elevators, cars that move by detecting objects and changing gears... Etc.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

I find it a very good and nice platform, which allows you to quickly and easily lift test programs and simulations on a variety of devices such as the Arduino Uno, Mega, and other non-Arduino devices such as the ESP8266, a device that It has been widely used through this platform. In addition, I like this platform because it allows more and more to bring fans of electronics to new trends and IoT technologies. And for us engineers allows us to create new systems quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

I do not like that there are little optimized libraries, besides that you can not easily access the assembly code of the device that is used, this means that certain specific configurations of each processor can not be achieved. In addition, it is not a platform that is fully optimized for all devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

I recommend this platform for its ease of use, be free and be available to all, both professionals and amateurs. In turn, the community that supports the Arduino project is very large, and everyone is willing to help to achieve progress in a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the company it helps a lot to carry out conceptual tests of future products, to see the perception that different marketing focus groups can have and to be able to make suggestions, from these conceptualization processes it stops to the use of more specialized software for the programming of the processors, depending on the type of processor to use.
