Arduino for Beginners - 2022 Complete Course - A Nice Additional Tool to Visualize Data on the Arduino IDE - Serial Plot

The video tutorial introduces the new serial plotter tool in the IDE, which allows users to visualize data from serial communication. It demonstrates how to set up a push button and use the serial plotter to visualize button states. The tutorial emphasizes that while the serial plotter is a useful tool for better visualization, it is not essential for completing projects. The video also provides tips for effectively using the serial plotter, such as ensuring correct baud rates and sending only the necessary data.
