What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
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.

What do you like best about the product?
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. If they want to change it, they can do so easily.

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.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is steep and requires extensive knowledge of programming languages to develop decent programs. There are better options for more novice users, such as 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.
What problems is the product 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 straining 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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended for users with knowledge in programming languages and syntax. Not so much for young users or beginners in computing.

What do you like best about the product?
The amount of documentation is good. Not only is there a lot of official documentation, there is also a lot of user-submitted information in the discussion groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are very few debugging options. For example, most IDEs allow breakpoints and variable view options, but not the Arduino IDE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for data acquisition.

What do you like best about the product?
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 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 sensors, motion sensors, sound sensors, position sensors, 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.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worst thing about Arduino IDE is that although it is designed to help learn how 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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Arduino IDE is used in our organization in the 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 alarms upon detecting movement in that room. It should be emphasized that it is free and does not require budget investment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
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.

I'm fascinated with Arduino IDE

  • November 06, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The programming language is easy to learn and modify, the compilation is fast, the website provides a lot of information and tutorials, as well as examples with which I can guide to facilitate learning. I like that there is an app to program from the phone in a simple way
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that most of the time it slows down when loading the software from the PC, however, since the app works fast and it goes very well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a thesis advisor I have helped my students in the design of automatic irrigation systems, auditory indicators of proximity of objects, etc. Since I met Arduino, I've been fascinated with everything that can be achieved. I have created a gamepad with my children to enter this electronic world since childhood and they have loved it because it is so easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To future users I would say that this software opens a wide range of possibilities and is very easy to learn. I started exploring about two years ago and I'm still learning and exploring. I'm fascinated with everything that can be achieved with Arduino.

What do you like best about the product?
Arduino is a development environment that will allow us to program the control boards of Arduino UNO and other similar boards using a programming language similar to C. We will be able to create real moving robots that, with the appropriate sensors, react to external stimuli through their actuators. There is a wide variety of Arduino elements for sale, and we can do everything with our development environment, which is not only versatile but also free.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you use it in teaching with young students, it can be very difficult for them to start in a development environment like Arduino. But there are very attractive graphical options (S4A) with which Arduino can be complemented thanks to its compatibility. So this problem would be solved. Another disadvantage is that the Arduino software is of little use if it is not followed by a strong investment in boards, cards, sensors, and actuators. Other than that, I have no complaints, as I am delighted with Arduino.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Arduino with students ranging from 11 to 15 years old and they love it. We have made cars that avoid obstacles, fans that turn on when it's hot, alarms that detect movement, etc. We have installed Scratch For Arduino (S4A) which helped them a lot in creating the programs, as it is not with a written language but with puzzle-like pieces that they place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Arduino for creating robotic projects easily and simply with students. There is even a module called S4A that makes the programmer's task easier.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the Plotter Serial tool! It is very useful to understand the signal we are working with! Also, you can find whatever you want on the internet. Also, it has a lot of libraries in the internet, a lot of tutorials teaching you how to use them and almost problem you have, someone already had it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Takes time to lead and sometimes shows up with a few bugs, but you can find everything on the internet! It's open source, sou you can't comercialize your products, but you can create your own version of arduino and sell it on your product. Also, the programming language could be more high level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy way to develop hardware-software prototypes, validate and test. It's easy, quick and flexible!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go ahead! It will make your life easier and fun!

Arduino in the school

What do you like best about the product?
I like it, really easy. It teaches computer programming with soft circuits to build. The software program also works quite well everywhere, so it's a massive advantage. It's an easy coding program mainly based on C with an amazing reference library "on the very critical project reason."
What do you dislike about the product?
Organizing a larger company within the Arduino IDE is, without a doubt, hellish, and I switched to the NetBeans plugin for my advanced stuff. Additionally, the reduction in the amount of noise due to the power supply will be substantially favored so that my information is more accurate with the help of improving the material within the circuits. Also, the IDE does not discover the board in the list of ports to be had. When you assemble an application, it reorganizes your code before passing it to the C compiler, so you will often find mysterious compilation errors that reference lines in a temporary document that you cannot see before it is destroyed. It is quite difficult to apply for younger children who have never had contact with programming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some of my university students use Arduino to build devices for tasks where Arduino is quite easy to start with. It is definitely smoother than the "write in Notepad, compile in the command line" method that I've seen for Java. In the way of using the software, I sometimes faced failing problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In this way, you can have a guide if you wish. It is an incredible region to start while learning Arduino. If you have any kind of background in programming, you will also be top-notch. Books often miss important steps or the program does not work as shown.
