Because the /output is an empty directory (on a fresh clone of the repo.), the
Python scripts don't have a place to save the charts. This addition just makes
sure the code runs smoother on freshly cloned repository.
The exhibition officially ended 1st August 2021 but no one was working in
Ritherdon on that day (Sunday). So, there was not light readings taken. This
script originally was extracting data all the way up to the 31st August
2021. This meant the old version of this script was extracting excess data and
producing files with irrelevant data. The changes here remove the excess data
extraction and processing.
The script was processing lm1-exhibiton-all.csv twice because I forgot to
replace the hardcoded value ('lm1') in the path used by rg. The code both
processes lm1-exhibition-all.csv and lm2-exhibition-all.csv files.
For some reason, I have a habit of spelling separator as 'seperator' and it
takes my a while to notice the mistake.
Clean-up involves adding comments and removing unused code.
You can now pass either a '1' or '2' to select which Light Meter data you want
to process -- all in the same script. This allows you to process both sets of
data at the same time.
Each Meters' data is place in their own directory in data/ so you can work on
each one seperately without mixing them up.
This shell script takes the data from data/lm1-exhibition-all.csv and breaks it
down into readings taken on a daily scale and then an hourly scale.
At the moment, it produces directories and files for times/days which have no
readings but I don't know if that's relevant or not. By having no data in
certain files, it does confirm 'No Data Recorded' if/when people look to review
the data and wonder why they can't find any for a particular day.
