Data Analysis
In addition to learning programming, the micro:bit 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 micro:bit 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 micro:bit or a personal computer.
The Data Viewer in the MakeCode editor allows you to stream and log data from your programs. It will do this when you write data values using the serial write functions. 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 micro:bit:
