Arduino Cloud Editor
What Arduino Cloud Editor is
Arduino Cloud Editor is a browser-based workspace for reading, editing, and verifying code used by Arduino Cloud projects. It also lets users customize projects that Arduino Cloud sets up. The editor supports real-time collaboration, private projects, and dashboard sharing with viewer or editor access. Arduino Cloud can upload new code over the air, and the experimental AI Assistant helps write sketch code on every Cloud plan. The Free plan allows 30 AI Assistant interactions monthly; Maker and School allow 1,500, while Team and Enterprise are listed as unlimited. Physical boards on Windows, macOS, and Linux require the Arduino Cloud Agent. ChromeOS can create and upload sketches, with board support limited to compatible boards. Plans include Free, Maker at $72 a year, Team at $1,000 a year, School at $20 a year, and Enterprise with no listed price.
Who it suits
Arduino describes the Cloud Editor for students, makers, and professional developers. Maker is intended for personal use, while business and school users are directed to corresponding plans.
