Introduction:

 

Many of you might know about USB on the go, you can connect your pen drive, game controllers, and other stuff via OTG. USB OTG was also great for powering up small devices like arduino, but much couldn’t have been achieved with it(except for powering). All the processing power that today’s mobile devices possess was going to vane and mobile they were only used as merely small power banks for generally arduino based prototyping.

 

Thanks to Anton Smirnov, who thought of utilizing the potential of mighty beasts that we carry in our pockets every day, to do something more that just merely powering up our arduino prototypes. He created a full-fledged Arduino IDE almost identical in terms of features to the IDE available for PC, and even better in some cases.

 

Most of the necessary features like open/edit arduino sketches, libraries, nd example sketches, code syntax highlighting, compilation of sketches, uploading sketches are available in the free version of this app.

 

But if you don’t want ad banners and really want to get really picky when it comes to color themes with some additional non-essential features like dropbox support, smart engine and smart keyboard then the paid version is the way to go.

 

Interface  :

 

Interface is pretty clean, not cluttered with tabs and buttons.

 

 

 

Then around 50% of the screen area is allocated for the “Editor” and “Navigator”
