Data Analysis

In addition to learning programming, the @boardname@ is a fantastic tool for observing and measuring things that happen in the natural world. The sciences rely on methods of observation, information gathering, and analysis. Using the @boardname@ with MakeCode, you can use the sensors and inputs to measure and capture physical events that occur. Meausrement data can then be sent for recording by other devices like another @boardname@ or a personal computer.

When you try your code in the simulator or connect with USB, each value you write is saved and collected as a log for you to analyze later if you want.

These topics describe how to analyze your data using MakeCode with the @boardname@:
