One of the most common forms of electronics projects is those that monitor events using sensors providing the data either to another machine, cloud service, or local server (like a web server). One way to do that is to wire your Pico up to a set of sensors and then log the data. You can find several examples of general data loggers on the Internet, but few combine the logging of data with a visualization component. Indeed, making sense of the data is the key to making a successful project.
