This is great if your program is a couple hundred lines long, and uses a single library, maybe two.īut what if you want to write a program which is a couple thousand lines long? And uses several interfaces at once? And once you’ve finished writing it, you click the button and as if by magic your code is now running in your hand. You don’t see a single mention of a linker, or makefiles, and even the libraries are done in as simple a way as possible. The IDE is a masterful way of getting people interested, it’s clean and friendly, with only a couple of buttons and an intuitive interface. But the main reason, which the embedded article goes into also, is the IDE. One of these reasons is the licensing, which is a major obstacle for anyone wanting to sell their product (and not make the code public), there’s a great post over on Embedded.fm about this. There are many good reasons Arduino doesn’t live up to this task, especially when you’re making products for customers, not just for your own satisfaction.
