* [challenge](/lessons/charting/challenge)
* [quiz](/lessons/charting/quiz)
* [answers](/lessons/charting/quiz-answers)
## Prior learning/place of lesson in scheme of work
Learn the functions of **on data received**, **send number** and **receive number** and chart `plot bar graph` for `acceleration` in the "x" dimension.
## Documentation
```cards
input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
led.plotBarGraph(0, 1023)
basic.showNumber(0)
radio.onDataPacketReceived(() => {})
radio.sendNumber(0)
```
## Objectives
* learn how to repeat code in the background forever
* learn how to get the acceleration value (g-force), in one of three specified dimensions
* learn how to display a vertical bar graph based on the value and high value.
* learn how to register code to run when a packet is received over radio
* learn how to broadcast a number data packet to other micro:bits connected via radio
* learn how to read the next radio packet as a number data packet
