Top IDE and IoT Dashboarding platforms for your DIY Electronics

As an electronics enthusiast, at one point you must have had this desire to start your own DIY
electronics project. But perfecting your designs requires the right tools. So today, we will be discussing
two important Electronics DIY tools i.e. ‘IDE & EDA’ and ‘IoT Dashboarding’. Further, we will elaborate
these two and enlist platforms you can operate with for your projects.

IDE & EDA


An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a type of software that
facilitates programmers in software development, specifically
the codes required to run your electronics. Generally, an IDE consists of a
source code editor, build animation tools, and a debugger. You can use C
and C++ for programming along with other languages such as Python,
Java etc. EDA (Electronic Design Automation) is also similar to IDE. It is
also used to design integrated circuits and PCBs along with software
development.
Arduino Create
Arduino Create is an open-source platform to help developers write their
own codes, access content, configure boards and share their projects. It
has resources to help you with every step of the process and is most
notable for its Arduino Web Editor. It is easy to understand, perfect for
beginners to test their skills.

The Arduino Integrated Development Environment is a cross-platform


application written using programming language Java. This IDE is also
downloadable and can be used without Wi-Fi i.e. while traveling. This
software is compatible with all major platforms such as Windows, OSX etc.
Not to mention it is free to download.

Particle.io is an online platform for IDE, it works as a browser web app and
as a software platform. It helps users in developing and debugging of
software along with the design and development of devices. It also helps
users by providing a variety of services such as hardware/software
solutions.

Visual Micro
Visual Micro is an extension to Microsoft Visual Studio and is C++ based.
You can use it to create cross-compatible code that can be implemented
onto your Arduino based device. It is available for installation in two forms,
free and paid pro version. This IDE is ideal for beginners with its easy to
use layout while it is simultaneously offering features for expert users. The
paid pro version also provides functions such as debugging and enabling
wireless communication for Arduino devices.

Fritzing
Fritzing is a publically funded non-profit organization that operates in
Germany to increase the masses interest towards electronics literacy and
STEM fields. They have created their own IDE to make coding more
approachable. Their software is also compatible with a number of older
platforms too which do not have specialized software available.

IoT and IoT Dashboarding


IoT dashboards are basically the digital tools required to visualize and
display data on our computers with the help of graphs, charts, control
switches, tables, and widgets. Specifically, in the IoT field, the dashboard is
the key component which displays and organizes your information and
allows users to control and monitor the processes.
Dweet.io
Dweet.io is simple publishing and subscribing for machines and internet-
enabled devices. Dweet.io calls itself the “Twitter for social machines”.
Basically, it uses the integration of their API in your devices and makes
your sensor data easily accessible. Through this, you can easily set up a
complex context-sensitive functionality which allows a particular device to
trigger another devices action when its conditions are met.

PubNub.com
PubNub is an online network based in California. It offers over 70 SKDs (in
programming languages such as JavaScript and for use in iOS and
Android) through their API (application program interface). It aims at
making products for developers to build their real-time IoT applications. It
also has advanced features such as a real-time dashboard and other
services.
Twilio
Twilio is an online cloud communication platform also based in California?
It mainly focuses on communications i.e. it allows software developers to
programmatically make and receive calls, text messages and performs
other communicative functions using its web service APIs. With the API you
can enable communications between a control system and various internet-
enabled devices.

Blynk
This platform is perfect for beginners, with its easy to use interface you can
create IoT applications and integrate them easily into your devices. Blynk is
compatible with over 400 hardware platforms including Arduino and
Raspberry Pi. It works as a digital dashboard where you can build your own
graphics interface by simply dragging and dropping widgets.

Initial State
Initial State is a platform for time series data. It helps users to send data
from web-connected devices, sensors, and applications to a cloud where
that data can be accessed anytime and can be turned into interactive real-
time dashboards, charts, statistics etc. You can keep track of a large
number of data points live. The basic account is free but you can pay for
more resources.
