11 IDE’s for IoT enthusiasts
Recently there have been many attempts to solve the challenging problem of how to make Internet of Things more easy to work on, for developers. In this article, we will highlight 11 IDE’s which are built to make our job easy while deploying and developing the solution. Most of them are free and already used widely by programmers.
11.Nodeblu
This helps you experiment with the Octoblu and Meshblu (formerly SkyNet.im) IoT by dragging, dropping, and wiring up various nodes connected to the platform!
10.Blockly
Blockly is a library for building visual programming editor.
9.CodeBender
CodeBender is an online code editor for Arduino.
8.VisualMicro
VisualMicro is a versatile and powerful add-in to Microsoft Visual Studio and Atmel Studio which both are based on the Microsoft Visual Studio technology. This documentation is focused solely on Visual Micro itself and does not address the basic concepts of Visual Studio/Atmel Studio.
7.ModKit
ModKit Drag & Drop Programming you can touch.
6.Zenodys
Zenodys is the easiest way to create a powerful Internet of Things Build IoT in minutes and without any programming. Simple for almost anyone.
5.S4A
S4A s a Scratch modification that allows for simple programming of the Arduino open source hardware platform. It provides new blocks for managing sensors and actuators connected to Arduino. There is also a sensor report board similar to the PicoBoard one.
4.Minibloq
Minibloq is an open source graphical programming environment for Multiplo™, Arduino™, physical computing devices and robots.
3.Ardublock
Ardublock is a graphical programming environment to make programming physical computing with Arduino as easy as drag and drop.
2.Scratch
Scratch is another visual programming platform which very easily leads you to build up your application just with the help of little blocks of logic.
1.Wyliodrin
Wyliodrin is a programming environment for all and is pretty easy to get along with. Raspberry Pi developers would feel at home.

Internet of Things (IoT) Enablement Factors
Today we will be talking about the factors that enabled and boosted the Internet of Things (IoT).
1. Miniaturization Of Devices
The size (and cost) of electronic components that are needed to support capabilities such as sensing, tracking and control has been reducing and will continue to reduce as per Moore’s law.
2. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Moving into the future, RFID has the potential to provide streams of data that will provide information systems with real-time, item-specific data and be flexible enough to be placed in extremely small spaces and locations, i.e., coil-on-chip technology.
3. Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
IPv6 is the next Internet addressing protocol that is used to replace IPv4. With IPv6, there are approximately 3.4×1038 (340 trillion) unique IPv6 addresses, allowing the Internet to continue to grow and innovate.
4. Communication Throughput And Lower Latency
Low latency makes it possible for IOT applications to query or receive quicker updates from sensor devices. LTE networks have latencies about 50-75 ms, which will open up new types of programming possibilities for application developers.
5. Low Power Consumption Devices
Low Power consumption devices will allow the devices to run for longer duration. Some devices will use solar capability to run, which will be self-sustained.
6. Cloud Computing
IOT connects billions of devices and sensors to create new and innovative applications. In order to support these applications, a reliable, elastic, and agile platform is essential. Cloud computing is one of the enabling platforms to support IOT, which provides required storage, processing power, and scaling capability.
7. Improved Security And Privacy
This allows the communication channel to be trustworthy. Critical business data can be passed by encryption or authentication code (MAC), protecting the confidentiality and authenticity of transaction data as it “transits” between networks.
There is still evolving standards in IoT security and with IPv6, IPsec support is integrated into the protocol design and connections can be secured when communicating with other IPv6 devices.

The Internet of Things: an introduction
What is The Internet of Things (IoT) ? What is its value ?
IoT Concept and Examples
The IOT concept was initially coined by a member of the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) development community in 1999, and it has recently become more relevant to the practical world largely because of the growth of mobile devices, embedded and ubiquitous communication, cloud computing and data analytics.
Since then, many have seized on the phrase “Internet of Things” to refer to the general idea of things, especially everyday objects, that are readable, recognisable, locatable, addressable, and/or controllable via the Internet, irrespective of the communication means (whether via RFID, wireless LAN, wide- area networks, or other means).
Everyday objects include not only the electronic devices we encounter or the products of higher technological development such as vehicles and equipment but things that we do not ordinarily think of as electronic at all – such as food and clothing.
Examples of “things” include:
- People
- Animals and Natural ecosystem
- Location (of objects)
- Time Information (of objects)
- Condition (of objects)
These “things” of the real world shall seamlessly integrate into the virtual world, enabling anytime, anywhere connectivity.
Internet of Things (IoT) Global Economic Value
![]()
In 2010, the number of everyday physical objects and devices connected to the Internet was around 1 billion.
Cisco forecasts that this figure will reach to 25 billion in 2015 as the number of more smart devices per person increases, and to a further 50 billion by 2020.
In addition, the global economic impact, which IoT will collectively have, will be more than $14 Trillion; if we compare this to the world population, then by 2020 we will have around more than six connected devices per person.
