![]() ![]() PlatformIO has more features than the Arduino IDE, features that make it much easier to create and troubleshoot your code. Things like auto-complete, which can save you some typing, inline error checking to catch your mistakes as you make them, and an onboard reference to help you understand your code. Well despite all of its features the Arduino IDE is really just a basic IDE, and it is missing a lot of features that advanced editors and IDEs have. It can manage libraries and you can add alternate microcontrollers to it. ![]() It also has a Serial Monitor to observe activity on the microcontroller and to exchange commands with it. The Arduino IDE has all of the features you need to compose, compile, and upload code to your target microcontroller. You can use a basic text editor and a command-line utility to do all of the above, but most people find it easier to use specialized GUI-based tools. In the case of interpreted languages, such as Python, the editor interfaces directly with the device and an interpreter translates the code every time it is run.
