Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Arduino ide to carry out projects of industrial process automation, signal acquisition and implementation of educational robotics projects.Arduino presents high reliability in automation projects and some of its boards are useful for quick implementation and development projects.

Pros

  • Easy interfacing with other microcontrollers
  • Your IDE is versatile for programming other types of microcontrollers.

Cons

  • Arduino should implement wifi communication on most of its development boards.
  • Extend your protection against electromagnetic noise

Return on Investment

  • Positive impact on teaching processes, students find their development cards attractive.
  • In projects where fast implementation is necessary, it is the best option.
