I agree that this is annoying; if not a selectable range (which I think would be best), at least an option to disable auto-scaling.
Also a horizontal grid would help.
serial plotter is an awesone tools a csv export will be really good. thanks a lot for the work. i m also agree with cousteaulecommandant
A quick fix to this is to print your desired scale every time you print a value.
If your values are between 0 and 1000 you can do:
String withScale = "0 ";
withScale += value;
withScale += " 1000";
Serial.println(withScale);
I totally agree. Autorange is no good for me. I am currently sending a value between 0.0 and 1.0 to the serial plotter and it autoranges to -6.0 to +6.0 ... Why?
@andreashove we should not include a lot of overhead in memory and time of execution to our codes because a basic feature is missing.
I am going to agree that this is really difficult to work with and could use a fix.
I agree with @MickMad. Has any progress been made on this issue? I think it would be a useful addition.
yep, 3 years on and still no option.... Plotter is very useful, but on/off autoscale should have been a fundamental feature. I had to hack together my own plotter as part of a desktop app, but would be easier in Arduino IDE.
With values that constantly change, the range of the plot will shrink and expand, making it incredibly difficult to judge the amplitude of a plot without constantly re-checking the Y-axis (of which is too small to read on my 4K screen anyway). A 3 inch peak may have a max value of 500, and 10 seconds later, another 3 inch peak will have a value of 25!
By having a selectable minimum and maximum, each peak on the plot can be visually compared properly.
