What Arduino Cloud Editor is
Arduino Cloud Editor is a browser-based editor for reading, editing, and verifying code in Arduino Cloud projects. It can customize projects that Arduino Cloud sets up, and its experimental AI Assistant helps write sketch code on every Cloud plan. The Free plan costs 0.00 USD and includes two Things, five variables per Thing, 25 compilations per day, and 30 AI Assistant interactions per month. Annual prices listed are 72.00 USD for Maker, 1,000.00 USD for Team, and 20.00 USD for School; Enterprise has no listed price. Connecting physical boards on Windows, macOS, and Linux requires the Arduino Cloud Agent. ChromeOS supports sketch creation and uploads, with board support limited to compatible boards. Arduino Cloud supports remote code uploads and dashboard sharing with viewer or editor access. Amazon Alexa voice control is available, and School lists Google Classroom integration. Plan features are subject to fair-use limits, including caps on variables, sketch storage, and sketch files. Maker is intended for personal use, while business and school users are directed to corresponding plans. Arduino is headquartered in Chiasso, Switzerland, and was founded in 2005.
