Arduino Announces Major Upgrades to Cloud Platform, Enhancing IoT Experience

In a recent update, the Arduino team announced significant updates to their Arduino Cloud platform, while taking notes on user feedback to enhance its functionality and design. Improvements include a new user interface, improved sketch management, and enhanced IoT project templates.

In an announcement, Team Arduino stated

At Arduino, we’ve always believed in the power of community. Our journey has been shaped by the incredible feedback and input we’ve received from our users, and today, we’re thrilled to introduce a renewed and improved Arduino Cloud based on your insights

The new and updated Arduino Cloud features a redesigned user interface that includes a new navigation bar for faster access to device and sketch management, as well as dashboard views. Additionally, various sketch management features have been improved, and users now have access to more starter templates for their IoT projects. Business users can customize the platform with their own logo, replacing the Arduino icon with a white label option. The dashboard now also includes a shared spaces view for easier operations.

In summary, the new Arduino Cloud update offers a fresh user interface with a handy navigation bar for easy access to different sections like device and sketch management. It has a cleaner look, better organization tools for sketches, quick-start templates for projects, and a special dashboard for shared projects. Business users can even replace Arduino’s logo with their own. In a recent post on Hackster, Gareth Halfacree demonstrates the new Device Manager, which features a custom logo on every device.

Key upgrades to the Arduino Cloud include:

• Revamped User Interface (UI): The new UI is tailored to user needs, offering a cleaner design, a sleek navigation bar, and a focus on project visibility. This ensures a more intuitive and streamlined development environment.
• Enhanced Sketchbook Features: The update transforms sketch management, making it easier to handle IoT projects and standalone sketches effectively.
• Easy Access to Pre-built Templates: Users can now quickly access a variety of templates for common IoT projects directly from the new navigation bar.
• Shared Spaces Dashboard: A novel feature for monitoring cloud usage more efficiently.
• Customization with White Labeling: The new white labeling feature allows the personalization of dashboards with custom logos, making it truly user-centric.

Arduino has teased more announcements in the coming weeks, hinting at further enhancements and features that will make development and IoT project management even more accessible.

The new Arduino Cloud user interface is now live and available to all users on the official website.
