Learn the pros and cons of using Arduino IDE vs. other development tools for embedded software. Compare ease of use, portability, compatibility, flexibility, and scalability.

The basic functions of the Arduino IDE – pinMode, digitalRead, digitalWrite, and analogRead – are available. Most of the WiFi functions work just like the WiFi shield library.

Arduino is open-source by design, meaning anyone can use this board architecture to design their own custom-made Arduino.

For all its geeky attributes, the Arduino development software, known as Arduino IDE (integrated development environment) has never had a tool for compiling code in the command line.

Intro to Arduino for Artists Thursday November 5, 7-10pm In this workshop you will learn the basics of working with the Arduino microcontroller board and the Arduino IDE software environment.

“the Arduino language is merely a set of C/C++ functions that can be called from your code”. Where we come from, a bunch of functions written in a programming language is called a library.

Based on Eclipse, the Arduino IDE 2.0 (beta) release brings support for live debugger, autocompletion, faster compilation, and more.

Sometimes the conveniences of using an Arduino board start to conflict with the performance that you expect, at least from a strict engineering point of view. When you develop with the Arduino ...
