## Overview

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/926/medium800thumb/sensors_ezgif.com-video-to-gif.jpg?1532354578)

We are constantly awash with data. Our brains must analyze data on a continual basis to make decisions. And here comes all the electronic sensors around us with their streams of data.

How does one look at electronic data and make decisions on what is happening over time? The tried and true answer is plotting (also called graphing).

This guide will quickly show you how to plot data Using Microsoft MakeCode and CircuitPython.

## Parts List

All you need is a Circuit Playground Express! It's got all the sensors built in already.
