What is Serial Monitor ?

The serial monitor is use to do communication between the computer/laptop and your Arduino. It allows to send and receive text messages to control the arduino from keyboard. For example, you will send command to operate motor or turn on/off led from your keyboard.

Baud rate :

The baud rate is basically the speed at which information is transferred in a communication channel. Baud rate is commonly used to do serial communication. We commonly used “9600 baud” rate that means the serial port is able to transferring a maximum of 9600 bits per second.


What is Serial plotter ?

Serial plotter is used to show the values in a graph. For example, if you want to show the values of variable it will plot a graph with respect to time.

It also use the baud rate to do communication.
