Make gifs from historic Purpleair data

Air Quality Replays

Use historic purpleair sensor data to make a gif of air quality, temperature, or humidity.

Use python run.py to run with test settings, or edit run.py with custom params.

The gifs are built in 3 steps:

1. pull_data.py Pulls the data from thingspeak.com, which stores up to a year of data. Uses multiprocessing to run in parallel.
2. make_plots.py Makes a plot for each time step.
3. make_gif.py Combines all the plots into a single gif.

The biggest challenge is installing cartopy and it's dependencies. Good luck.
