Hi,

Reading data off my gyroscope and just want to know what is on my x-axis of my serial plotter when plotting angular velocity?

Thanks

X axis is samples. If you have a fixed sample rate then you can also consider it to be time.

Thank you Pert for providing a good answer. So would time be measured in seconds?

So would time be measured in seconds?

Yes, if you can determine the amount of time (in seconds) that it takes to collect and send each data point to the PC.

You can measure time in any units you like. The numbers on the X axis are samples. If you take one sample per second then those numbers will also be seconds. If you take one sample per millisecond then the numbers will also be milliseconds. Etc.
