Pros and cons of Arduino Companion app for iPhone and iPad
Arduino Companion app good for
I really like being able to quickly look something up in this app. I also like seeing related commands for a peripheral.
All of this stuff is available online, but sometimes Im in an area with no access. Also, it is hard to search for something online when you dont know the word or command you are looking for. Perhaps one day Ill know most of the stuff in this app, iron the Arduino site that Ill use it less and less. For now, I find it really helpful.
Pretty much right from the reference section of the Arduino website but handy to have when your learning and writing code, especially for the beginner. Best part is easy access to the descriptions of all of the individual library functions .
im studying arduino in the spare time and this app is the perfect reference to recall concepts and data on the hw and sw. plus is offline.
Small, fast and very helpful reference tool. You will love the dark design.
Great on the iPod/iPhone as when you dont have Internet you can just look it up on here! ;D
I very much enjoy being able to use my iPod as a reference, allowing me to code with no distractions.
Some bad moments
Knows nothing about Leonardo & micro Atmega32U4 based boards, particularly of more interrupts supported and newer interrupts assignment syntax, compared to Uno / mini / nano boards
p.s.
По поводу нытья об отсутствии русских переводов - учите английский, миру плевать на ваши скрепы и загадочность "души"! )
Thank you for making such a nice solid app. I am new to the arduino community, but am looking forward to learning fast, and the capacitor calc is great btw. Cant wait for more material and updates.
This app is great, lots of useful facts put In an easy to reach place, and the calculator is awesome
If you own an Arduino and you dont DL this app then you are too dumb to program an Arduino. As a matter of fact, even if it were $5 (ITS FREE!) and you dont get it, youre too dumb to write the Blink example sketch to the chip.
I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this in the App store. For a free App in its initial release, it better than most other Arduino reference Apps out there. Its simple, quick and has all the info you would expect.
Keep up the great work! Look forward to seeing what else the author plans on adding!
This is a nicely laid out app that does what it says. Handy offline reference. Nice Job!
