What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Arduino IDE is simple and efficient, allowing the user to create sketches for just about any imaginable project. The software is easy to use and a quick online tutorial is all you need to get started and learn the basics. The software also includes a serial monitor, which displays timestamps for loops and output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Arduino IDE has a minor issue when uploading sketches to the Arduino/third-party boards. Although it isn’t a serious issue, it does become frustrating having to upload the same sketch two or three times before it functions properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Creating basic and complex sketches for various compatible circuits, carrying out projects or creating certain gadgets, and learning how to program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Arduino IDE is a very lightweight, cross-platform application that introduces programming for beginners. This application is accessible from the cloud. Arduino IDE comes with a board management module, where users can select the board they want to work with at the moment.

With Arduino IDE, users can create programs with a text editor.

Arduino IDE works on the three most popular operating systems: Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. This IDE has more than 700 built-in libraries. This makes the use of the application more extensive than limited to proprietary boards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

The learning curve is steep and requires extensive knowledge of programming languages to develop decent programs. There are better options for more novice users, like Scratch for Arduino. Other aspects I didn't like were that sometimes it is too slow when loading codes and needs to be restarted frequently. Loading code onto the hardware of Arduino Uno boards is a tedious task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

highly recommended for users with knowledge in programming languages and syntax. Not so much for young users or beginners in computing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I recommend users working with Arduino to use this IDE. It is capable of performing complex processes without harming computer resources such as RAM, processor, etc. With Arduino IDE, you can easily access contributed libraries and receive updated support for the latest Arduino boards.

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

What I like most about this program whose name is Arduino is how useful it is for programming boards with Arduino microcontrollers. Arduino IDE is a free development environment that, through a high-level programming language based on C, allows us to develop code to implement the programs that will control the Arduino controllers so they can perform the desired commands. The best thing about Arduino boards is that we can connect sensors like light detectors, microphones, temperature, motion, sound, position, limit switches, etc. The program decides which actuators will come into play according to the signals received, and these can be rotors, AC motors, DC motors, speakers, colored LEDs, etc. In summary, with ARDUINO IDE, robots that react to their environment can be programmed. Additionally, the program is free and cross-platform. It is very lightweight and available online from the official website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

The worst thing about Arduino IDE is that although it is oriented towards learning to develop code for robots, the programming language used is very complex for novice users who have never seen a programming language. Fortunately, there are other options based on Arduino IDE for beginners like Scratch For Arduino, with a much simpler interface. There are no more complaints about this program because it works very well and provides great moments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Arduino IDE is a very useful programming environment if you want to have fun creating software for the microprocessors of a robot or any system that requires microcontroller boards, to react to environmental events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Arduino IDE is used in our organization in educational robotics modules. Numerous projects are carried out throughout a school year using Arduino IDE, such as a guardian robot that is in constant circulation (rolling around a room) and has an intruder detector and an alarm that activates when it detects movement in the room. It is important to emphasize that it is free and does not require budget investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
