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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High compatibility with original or clone boards. Good indentation and wide variety of configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not always connection to the board and you have to disconnect it and reconnect it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not hard to learn and there are lots of libraries that you can use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the libraries that I use, I added them myself and it did not include them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arduino is an excellent software development environment that will allow you to program Arduino ONE boards and, with the necessary components, create fantastic dynamic automatons. Arduino also allows integration with another software called Scratch for Arduino, which, with a very simple interface, will enable you to program the boards with the Arduino microcontroller and carry out amazing projects. You will be able to read the information collected by the sensors (light, motion, proximity, sound, there are a thousand types!!), process it thanks to the program you develop with Arduino IDE, and obtain outputs that will activate the actuators (motion, sound,). It is ideal for working with children, they will love the robots that can be created, and they might even be encouraged to program themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it hangs and takes a long time to load the program from the PC via USB to the Arduino ONE board. If you have never programmed before or want to encourage younger ones to program robots, they will encounter an interface that is neither modern nor user-friendly. That is why S4Arduino should be installed on top to facilitate programming through blocks instead of the typical syntax of a conventional programming language. You need an extra expense on electronic components for the board we are going to program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arduino IDE is an IDE very similar to Eclipse IDE ideal to develop code for Arduino boards. The best thing is that you have a package manager to link with the dependencies in a very easy way, saving you the need to go looking for the packages in different repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback is that it is very slow loading the codes, and in many cases you have to restart the application to get the load done correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Arduino IDE is not just another IDE, it's totally necessary if you work with arduino boards. Before Arduino IDE was really difficult to deal with the drivers, ports and code, so in Windows as in Linux. With this IDE you can search which board you are using and which libraries you want to link and Arduino IDE do the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a negative things, I have to say that sometimes it take much time to load the program. Also other times I have to restart the application because I get communication errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very useful for the electronics people who willing to design robots. Example codings are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The errors that made in the code are hard to find to be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
