Scrollable Plot in real time from Arduino to Matlab
Hi,
I meet a problem when plotting data from Arduino to Matlab, where the x axis is increasing continously and cause the compression of plot. I want to let the x axis auto-scroll, something like axis(t,t+dx,y1,y2). I’ve tried two ways plotting the data, shown below. Is there any other methods to make the x axis auto-scrolling? Thank you in advance!

b=a.readVoltage(‘A3’);
x=[x,b];
plot(x);
%axis([0,interv,0,5]);
