The Serial Plotter recognizes only CRLF ( ) & LF ( ) as linebreak characters.

int static_variable = 500 - variable that has an unchanged value of 500.int potentiometer - variable to store value from a potentiometer, connected to an analog pin (gives a value between 0-1023).

Both sketches have a variable named static_variable which has a permanent value of 500, used as a reference value.Ĭhoose and upload any of the examples below to your board. This sketch needs to include at least one numerical variable, such as an int or float.īelow you will find two sketches, one using a potentiometer and analogRead ( ) function, the other using the random ( ) function. To use the Serial Plotter, we will need to create a sketch and upload it to our board.

Create a simple sketch and test it out.

For other guides on how to use the editor, visit the IDE 2 docs. If you need help to download and install the Arduino IDE 2, you can visit the IDE 2 downloading and installing guide. In this tutorial, we will take a quick look on how to enable this feature (works for practically any sketch that uses serial communication), how a sample sketch looks like, and how it is expected to work. It functions similarly to your standard Serial Monitor tool which is used to print data 'terminal style', but is a greater visual tool that will help you understand and compare your data better. The Serial Plotter tool is a versatile tool for tracking different data that is sent from your Arduino board.
