"Very smooth and easy to use"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Very easy language to learn and work on especially for first time programmers since it's open source and you can find a lot of available information for several projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

The downside of using arduino is that it doesn't offer a lot of options when it comes to more professional programming. Limited debugging and no memory acess to optimize the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Arduino create your own world of electronic devices."

5/5

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

Compatibility with almost every single module.

Easily available libraries for any purpose modules.

Easy hands on C++ programming language with feature of creating your own library as per your requirement.

Easily expandable to lots of other modules or microcontrollers serving similar purpose.

From beginners to experts environmental friendly and easy to learn and design complex tasks.

Lots of inbuilt example sketches written pre handedly further minimize the code complexity. Bootloader dumping feature available. Also available on android/ios devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Sometimes com port error throws up for unknown reasons and requires a system restart to resolve it is the only thing that annoys with smooth flow.

Also sometimes the sketch IDE loads on the last written program everytime instead of a n new page.

Many precompiled library needs to be installed after download for code management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best IDE tool for embedded system - Lighweight and opensource."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

It is one of my favorite Integrated Development Environment Tool(IDE). I start my programming hobby with this Arduino. Later on, we used Arduino for our projects. It is more versatile and open-source. There are a lot of open-source libraries available that we can use for our project and make our task so simple.

The User Interface and debugging tool are fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Some issues in this software are,

1. Sometimes COM port not supported issue may arise; it is fixed by restarting the PC/Laptop or by restarting Arduino IDE.

2. Theme is slightly unattractive. (Only Light Theme is available)

Other than this, Arduino IDE has no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best lightweight IDE for Arduino projects"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

It's simple and easy to code in Arduino IDE; I use it to write sketches for IoT devices. The IDE provides a built-in library and boards manager; moreover, it includes examples and online documentation, making it the best tool for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Arduino IDE supports C/C++ language only. In rear cases, the sketches take time to upload, and the Serial Monitor doesn't support higher baud rate options. It usually displays an error message stating that the port is already in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has been beneficial in my Internet of Things projects, and it is straightforward to use. You can find code on the internet, and there are numerous tutorials available to help you learn. Due to its simplicity and intuition, programmers do not have much difficulty figuring out how to use it to write their own code, which is the primary advantage.

"Easy to code embedded platform"

4/5

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

For a beginner who doesn't know how to code a microcontroller, Arduino is the best platform as it has a provision for inbuilt codes and easy to use chip configurations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

I don't feel anything is bad about using it; over a due course of time we should learn to adapt to higher-end microcontroller coding platforms other than Arduino Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The perfect IDE for interfacing code in Arduino Circuit Boards!"

4/5

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

The Arduino CC ide is a very easy-to-use application, and there are many options to choose from all the boards that Arduino offers. The Arduino coding language is easy. There are no bugs in the software. Apart from that, there are many youtube tutorials which offer a straightforward explanation to everything! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

Arduino IDE takes a lot of time to upload the code onto the programming board and most of the times it fails doing so. Hence, there can be an application bug in the software which needs to be looked upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The right tool for the job."

5/5

What do you like best about Arduino IDE?

This is a simple programming IDE for all Arduino controllers, including some of the embedded ones in other hardware devices. Everything you need in one package, and if you don't see what you need, likely, someone has already produced an add-on for it. That you can get for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arduino IDE?

I dislike that fact that you have to change permissions before uploading to Arduino controllers when you're using the Linux version. However, there is a pop-up window on first run, that covers how to make those changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arduino IDE:

Don't bother with any other IDE's that are claiming to be "better"... they're not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The Arduino IDE is allowing me to program Arduino controllers (and many of thier clones) to make constructed projects more self-contained and portable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
