Arduino IDE is an IDE very similar to Eclipse IDE ideal to develop code for Arduino boards. The best thing is that you have a package manager to link with the dependencies in a very easy way, saving you the need to go looking for the packages in different repositories.

Easy code push to the circuits on click of a button. Run time and compile time errors. Pushes the code to circuits only if it is error free. Easy to connect and write codes for different types of devices and FTDI's using board manager.

Arduino is an excellent software development environment that will allow you to program the Arduino ONE boards and, with the necessary components, create fantastic dynamic automatons. Arduino also allows integration with another software called Scratch for Arduino, which with a very simple interface, you will be able to program the boards with the Arduino microcontroller and carry out amazing projects. You will be able to read the information collected by the sensors (light, motion, proximity, sound, there are a thousand types!!), process it thanks to the program developed with Arduino IDE, and obtain outputs that will activate the actuators (motion, sound,). It is ideal for working with children, they will love the robots that can be created, and they might even be encouraged to program themselves.
