Because I'm only testing and getting a proof-of-concept up and
running, the longer and more specific files is not worth the effort
right now. They are unwieldy to type and getting in the way. I've
renamed them to smaller names with the intention to use more specific
file names when things start to settle in the direction of the
project.
Just basic organisation. I accidently created flicker.py at the
repositories root. I meant to create it in 'src'. I'd already pushed
the commit before I spotted my mistake hence the 'mess' in the git
history.
The code in this file is mostly to get the ball moving in this
repository. This file opens the
'light-meter-sample-readings-23-04-2021-ritherdon.csv' file and
tallies-up the number of requests per second groups. After that, it
writes the results to 23-04-2021-readings-per-sec.csv.
As an example (to help explain), it counts and stores how many times
the light meter (factory1) took a reading at the rate of two times per
second. In this instance, there were 2955 instances of the light meter
taking two readings per second. This roughly equates to 10% of the
days readings was at a rate of two requests per second. 28% of the
time the light meter was recording at four requests per second, 18%
for one and 44% for three.
The main file I was using was too big and taking too long to
process. Whilst I got things moving in this repository, I removed a
lot of the data to help speed-up the development process. This should
be a temporary file and I expect this to be deleted at some point in
the future.
This is a .csv file and will be used and the initial test data this
project will aim to breakdown into a list of readings for each
second. At the moment, I'm being vague with my desciption of what
'breakdown' means here because this is just a proof-of-concept. I
don't expect this file to remain around for too long in the
repository.
