The best tool for flashing Arduino, ESP8266, and other microcontroller boards

  • April 25, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the ease of use of the code editor, compiler, and loader. The Arduino IDE allows developers to build software (using 3rd party libraries), compile the program code, and deploy to the microcontroller. The IDE also provides a logger to receive text logging to display console logging, which is invaluable for troubleshooting.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times it's a bit slow when pushing new code to each board. I cannot be certain if this is a limitation of the software or the board, or even the processor of the loading computer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company creates software and I am a developer that is looking to add microcontroller IoT to our software products. I use the Arduino IDE exclusively to build and test software for the devices. The IDE is a solid "standard" that allows me to create software for a wide variety of boards quickly without dealing with the nuances of each board or separate IDE's.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you know how to code, particularly in C/C++, this Arduino IDE will be a cinch for you. If you have any sort of background in programming, you'll be fine too. There are plenty of literature and online tutorials for this product and the Arduino family.

Program your microprocessor with Arduino IDE

  • February 16, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Free, works well. It teaches computer programming with easy to build circuits.
What do you dislike about the product?
No tutorial lessons built in. It is difficult to see what is wrong when you have an error in your code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create lessons for middle school students to practice building circuits and programming computer code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Careful to use available books that teach you. The books often leave out important steps or the program does not work as shown. Search for the lesson or project online, more experienced users have solutions posted.

Easy to code Open Source platform with endless features

  • February 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The online community around Arduino is what makes it the best. There are so many libraries created by users online that allow you to accomplish virtually any project. It's a breeze to implement additional software filters, timers, integrate sensors, and program screens thanks to work that has been done my previous users. And the intuitive coding system makes it easy to create new features on your own and share them with others. The boards are super high quality and there are a wide variety available depending on your project needs. Great for beginners and with enough features to satisfy the experts!
What do you dislike about the product?
There's always a new version of the arduino IDE and I often find that an older version works better for connecting to some boards...I wish these versions were more consistent and had fewer bugs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Arduino to jumpstart and experiment with new product designs, and even build prototype units for benchtop and clinical testing. It's easy to make a proof of concept with an arduino in a short amount of time. Even though they are pricier than using standalone microcontrollers, the breadth of features and ease of use makes them great for a start up trying new things.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! There's plenty of beginner projects that don't have to be super intimidating, and you'll catch on quickly for the larger stuff! It's not just for work, it can be for fun too!

In project purpose of Arduino is best .

  • January 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
i am use of Arduino software many time . it is best to to interface of sensor . And in market available of arduino board. but it software is open source.and to easly write of program."in project purpose very important.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many time use this software once problem i got upload program is to more time consumption. and program scaning is also slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The project problem i am easly take over in my hand beacaue of this software i am free mind use. and this software syntax will be easly understand .in order to use of software some time crashing problem i was face.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
try it and you also realize what are benefit in this software.

Good for beginners

  • January 25, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is a very simple and easy to use software.
Very good for small electronic projects especially for someone who is just getting introducted to technology.
IT is capable of doing complex algorithms as well and is really fast.
It has a very user friendly interface and the support for the software is great.
There are a lot of online videos so it is easy to pick up from there.
What do you dislike about the product?
It sometime takes a lot of time to compile and have seen it crash sometimes.
It rarely detects the arduino board and have to reset it multiple times before it can identify it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to make simple electronic circuits and mini projects mainly.

We have used it in more complex circuitary and data analysis too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely recommend

Fantastic product

  • November 15, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy how straightforward all the coding is on this platform. Everything from the presented errors to help debug the app to just the general functions just makes a lot of sense. It doesn't take much to debug any mistakes and is very customizable from the ability to choose how fast data is aquired from the arduino to what voltage is being applied. Ity is also very useful in day to day application as I use the BMP 180 add on to tell me the temperature it is outside every morning.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how little things such as the semi colon at the end of each line will bug up an entire code. When selecting auto format function it should be able to fix those small mistakes on its own. Also, reducing the amount of noise due to the power source would be greatly appreciated to make my data more accurate by improving the material in the circuitry.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From normal coding procedures to seeing how warm it is outside, the arduino is used for many different things in the workplace. We can find almost any add on to suit our needs and solve our problems.

Perfect IDE for fast coding

  • September 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Arduino IDE is perfect for small coding, large projects suffer a bit with lack of recusses, but for beginners, the IDE is perfectly fine. As our goal is rapid prototyping, the Arduino IDE is the best option. Dozens of libraries help our development.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of autocompletion and one of the features that most dislike programmers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company works with rapid prototyping for IoT. Arduino's IDE, along with its ecosystem, allows us to develope projects in record time
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lack of autocomplete, so it is good to memorize the commands.
