Answer

PlotJuggler is a time series visualization tool that can be used to view data streaming from an Arduino via serial port

.
Here are the steps to use PlotJuggler to view data streaming from an Arduino via serial port:
  1. Install PlotJuggler on your computer. PlotJuggler is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. You can download the latest version of PlotJuggler from the official website: https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler/releases.
  2. Connect your Arduino to your computer via USB cable.
  3. Open the Arduino IDE and upload the sketch that reads data from the sensors and sends it to the serial port. Here's an example sketch that reads data from an analog sensor and sends it to the serial port:
c++
void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { int sensorValue = analogRead(A0); Serial.println(sensorValue); delay(100); }
  1. Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command to view the data streaming from the Arduino via serial port:
bash
$ cat /dev/ttyACM0 | plotjuggler
Replace /dev/ttyACM0 with the name of the serial port that your Arduino is connected to. You can find the name of the serial port in the Arduino IDE under the "Tools" menu.
  1. PlotJuggler should now open and display the data streaming from the Arduino in real-time. You can customize the plot by adding new plots, changing the colors, and adjusting the scales.
Alternatively, you can use other software like SerialPlot

or Processing

to plot data from the serial port. The Arduino IDE also has a built-in Serial Plotter that can be used to create graphs of numerical data sent on the serial port
