Description

This repository contains scripts for analyzing particular matter data collected at Burning Man in 2019 using code from this repository, which was installed on a Raspberry Pi Zero connected to a RTC and an SDS-011 PM2.5/10 sensor.

Weather Data

Fetching Weather data requires a weather underground API key. You can sign up for one if you have a weather station, then use get_weather.py to get weather data. You will need to load the api key as an environment variable like so (if your api key was 1234567890):

    export WEATHER_COM_API_KEY=1234567890

However the data from Gerlach for Burning Man 2019 has already been fetched and is in data/weather/gerlach_weather.csv.

Map Timeline

This visualization is derived (with minimal edits) from Leaflet.Timeline's Earthquake example. It requires that the air quality data (data/dust/dusty.csv) and GPS data (data/gps/*.gpx) has been merged and subsequently converted to geojson format and stored in the data directory when running the python combine_data.py command.

The leaflet.timeline.js file was compiled using this repo, with an updated package.json that can be found in leaflet/leaflet-timeline-package.json.

    git clone https://github.com/skeate/Leaflet.timeline.git
    cp leaflet/leaflet-timeline-package.json Leaflet.timeline/package.json 
    cd Leaflet.timeline
    npm install
    npm run build
    cp dist/leaflet.timeline.js ../leaflet/
