Compare Wokwi and Arduino Serial Plotter

Wokwi Arduino Simulator versus Arduino IDE for serial plotter functionality

Introduction

Wokwi Arduino simulator provides option to plot data sent to the terminal in the simulation itself. This is a crucial future which enables you to visualize data without real hardware.

Steps to generate a waveform on Arduino IDE

• Get your ARDUINO UNO or other Arduino Board
• Connect USB cable to both program and power the Arduino
• Copy the example code to the new sketch
• compile the code
• program the Arduino
• open the Serial Plotter window
• Make sure the baud rate selected in setup() and serial Plotter are the same

Steps to generate a waveform on Wokwi Arduino Serial plotter

• Open a new Arduino UNO project on Wokwi Arduino Simulator
• add the below line in the diagram.jsonfile
• Copy the example code into the sketch and Run the simulation

Here is the easy steps to visualize the serial plotter on the Wokwi Arduino simulator

Summary

• Wokwi Arduino Simulator provides the Serial plotter option
• The performance of Serial plotter on Wokwi is in par with the Arduino IDE
