Arduino IDE

What is Arduino IDE?

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that empowers artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. It provides a flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software ecosystem for prototyping and developing digital devices. The core of the Arduino system is a single-board microcontroller that can be programmed to sense and control physical devices. The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a cross-platform software application that enables users to write code and upload it to the Arduino board. This IDE is based on the Processing and Wiring projects, making it accessible for programming newcomers who may not have a background in software development. The IDE supports the C and C++ programming languages and offers a range of features to simplify the development process, including an error-checking mechanism, a serial monitor for communicating with the board, and the ability to access a library of pre-built functionalities
