Hands-On RTOS with Microcontrollers

Arduino IDE

The Arduino platform is an extremely pervasive platform with a huge ecosystem of hardware and software. Generally used to introduce newcomers to electronics and programming, the Arduino IDE uses strictly structured libraries that expose a dialect of C/C++ for users to write sketches. The goal of Arduino is to make prototyping quick and easy for non-programmers. As such, it hides as many details about the underlying hardware as possible inside libraries.

Here are the quick stats for the Arduino IDE:
