Graphing Sensor Data. In the previous section, we described how to display data on the Serial Monitor. The same sketch can be used to graph data on the Serial Plotter. The Serial Plotter is a Tool that comes pre-installed with the Arduino IDE. When the Serial Plotter is open, print commands will plot sensor data on the vertical Y axis. Graphing Sensor Data. The Serial Plotter is a Tool that comes pre-installed with the Arduino IDE. When the Serial Plotter is open, print commands will plot sensor data on the vertical Y axis. The scale automatically adjusts to fit your data. Note you cannot have the Serial Monitor and the Serial Plotter open at the same time. Graph and save serial data into processing. A very basic snippet of my arduino serial printout code includes. Arduino serial-port processing graphing. Serial data plotting programs. For plotting serial data from Arduino that meet the needs above? To install python like some of the other graphing programs do. How to use Processing to plot serial data. Ask Question 1.

Real-time Graphing and Data Logging

The easiest and fastest way to plot and share data on the Arduino.

Plotly's Arduino libraries connects Arduinos to plotly's beautiful online graphing tool for real-time, interactive data logging and graphing. It's free, open source, and your graphs and data are entirely online.

Serial myPort; // The serial port int xPos = 1; // horizontal position of the graph //Variables to draw a continuous line. Int lastxPos=1; int lastheight=0; void setup { // set the window size: size (600, 400); // List all the available serial ports println (Serial. List ()); // Check the listed serial ports in your machine // and use the correct index number in Serial.list()[]. ArduGraph is open-source easy to use serial graph monitor for Arduino. Full Project: ArduGraph is a simple PC software, created with Processing, can plot data received from the serial port.

Here is an example of a real-time graph: http://plot.ly/~streaming-demos/6/

Super easy

5 Minute Quickstart

Note: this library doesn't work with the latest Arduino IDE. Use 1.0.3 (for WiFi) or 1.0.5 for other shields. See https://github.com/plotly/arduino-api/issues/38 for more details

If you're working on the Yún, click on the plotly_yun folder for separate instructions.

If you're device isn't internet connected, you can still connect to plotly over serial. Click on the plotly_streaming_serial folder for separate instructions.

  1. Sign up to plotly: https://plot.ly.

  2. Download and uncompress the latest plotly release: https://github.com/plotly/arduino-api/releases.

  3. Place the appropriate library your Arduino libraries folder. On a Mac, this is in ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/:

  4. Open up the Arduino IDE. If your using WiFi and haven't upgraded your firmware, use the IDE version 1.0.3.

  5. Load up one of the examples from this repository. Fill in your plotly username, API key, stream tokens, and filename. You can find your API key and stream tokens here: https://plot.ly/settings. It'll look something like:

    (those are fake keys and tokens)

  6. Upload the program.

  7. Open up your Serial Monitor. You'll see an output like:

  8. Grab the URL that was printed out, view your graph in your browser, and celebrate! The graph and data is saved in your plotly account, so you can view it in your plotly file list here: https://plot.ly/plot. You can view, edit, and share your graphs while data is streaming to them in real-time. Everybody that views the graph will see the exact same data at the same time (try it out yourself: open your graph in two different browser windows).

Usage and Docs

Usage, Your Data Rights, and Private Graphs

When you make a graph on plotly, you retain the rights to your content (see our terms here). You also control whether your graphs are public or private. Public plotting is free; for a lot of private use, you can get a Premium or Organizational plan (see http://plot.ly/plans). It's just like GitHub.

By default, anyone can view the graphs at the unique URL. To make the graphs private, so that only you can see them when your logged in, set world_readable to false:

Time stamping

By default, plotly assumes that x is millis() and automatically converts the x to a real-time timestamp with the timezone 'America/Montreal' on the server. To disable this, set convertTimestamp to false, e.g.

To change the timezone, set timezone to one of the strings in here: Accepted Timezone Strings.txt, e.g.

Adjusting the number of points plotted at a time

By default, your real-time graph will graph the 30 most recent points at a time. To adjust this, set the member variable maxpoints to something else, e.g.

Editing the live graph

Plotly graphs can be edited while data is streaming to them. Every aspect of the graph is configurable: you can add a second y-axis, turn the graphs into subplots, change the colors, update the title, change the chart type, etc. To get started, just open up the graph in your list of files here: https://plot.ly/plot or click Save and Edit on the public view of your graph that the serial monitor printed out (e.g. http://plot.ly/~streaming-demos/6/).

What Is Serial Communication Arduino

Multiple Viewers

Everybody who looks at your streaming graph sees the exact same data, at the exact same time. Give it a try yourself: open up a graph in two different browser windows.

Overwriting or Appending Data

By default, the initialization of your graph (graph.init();) overwrites the existing graph with your new data. This is the perfect option for development: when you re-run your script, a fresh new graph is created. However, when you run your Arduino for an extended period of time, the Arduino may reset itself, which would in turn reset the graph and remove the existing data. To prevent this from happening, you can use the fileopt'extend', which will append your new data to the existing data in the graph.

So, for running your Arduino for a very long time, you should add

to your setup() loop, i.e.

Streaming Multiple Traces to Multiple Plots

Example code is here: Streaming Multiple Traces to Multiple Plots. View the comment at the bottom of the example for an explanation of the code.

Logging and Debugging

The parameter log_level sets how debugging information is printed out over serial. For troubleshooting, set log_level to 0, i.e.

Set log_level to 4 if you want nothing to be printed out on serial.

  • bool plotly.init()

    Creates an empty graph in your plotly account that will get streamed to. This is done by making an API call to plotly's REST service. Returns true if initialization was successful, false otherwise.

  • void plotly.openStream()

    Opens a TCP connection to plotly's streaming service. The stream is uniquely identified by the stream_tokens.

  • void plotly.closeStream()

    Closes the TCP connection to plotly's streaming service.

  • void plotly.reconnectStream()

    Reopens the connection to plotly's streaming service if not connected.

  • void plot(unsigned long x, int y, char *token)

    Plots (x, y) to the streaming graph.

  • void plot(unsigned long x, float y, char *token)

    Plots (x, y) to the streaming graph.

Public Member Parameters

  • int plotly.log_level (Default 2)

    Determines which messages are printed over serial. Levels are:

    • 0: Debugging
    • 1: Informational
    • 2: Status
    • 3: Errors
    • 4: Quiet
  • bool plotly.dry_run

    If True, then no calls are made to Plotly's servers.

  • int plotly.maxpoints (Default 30)

    Determines the number of points to plot at a time. Valid from 1 to 200000.

  • bool plotly.convertTimestamp (Default true)

    If true, the Plotly assumes that x is milliseconds since program start (millis()) and automatically converts these values into a timestamp.

  • char *plotly.timeZone (Default: 'America/Montreal')

    The timezone to convert the timestamps if plotly.convertTimestamp=true. A list of the accepted timezones are in this repo: Accepted Timezone Strings.txt

  • bool plotly.world_readable (Default: true)

    If true, then your graph is publicly viewable and discoverable by unique url. If false, then only you can view the graph.

  • char *plotly.fileopt (Default 'overwrite')

    Either 'extend' or 'overwrite'.

    If 'overwrite', then when the graph is initialized (during plotly.init()), the existing graph is overwritten with a new one. This means that the existing data in the graph will be removed. This option is good for development, when you want a fresh graph to appear everytime you run your script.

    If 'extend', then the existing data is kept when the graph is initialized (during plotly.init()), and the new data is appended onto the existing data. This option is good for when you are running your device for an extended period of time, for if the Arduino resets (which may happen every few hours) then the existing data in the graph is not removed.

I am trying to plot a graph on processing but I'm having challenges going about it. The processing sketch below does work for plotting only one axis, and I'm trying to plot all three axis on the same sketch. Does anyone have an idea on how I could go about it. Below are the Arduino and Processing sketches.

I have edited your serialEvent() method a little bit, so it could handle the data from the Arduino, when split by a tab.

so your sending on the Arduino has to look like this:

You still have to make the drawing in the draw() method of processing, but I think that this is not the problem.

For the 3d draw you should have a look on the Processing reference or at this special topic, P3D by Daniel Shiffman.

I have not tested the code, but I think that it should work.

If you have questions, feel free to ask ;D
