Creates a GR placefile of PING data
How it works: -Downloads raw HTML from PING Display page -Goes through ptype and hail reports, putting data into lists -Outputs a CSVs for reports received in the past 15, 30, and 600 minutes
All reports are currently exported as CSVs in the format latitude,longitude,preciptype,reporttime,hailsize.
Hail size is only proivded if the preciptype is hail, logically.
The pingIcons.png is currently an unused iconset left over from forking this code from the original project.
Future Enhancements
- Output to KML and/or GeoJSON in addition to CSV
- Add a map page with which these reports can be viewed.
