This small program starts listening for an audio input on the system microphone. When a set audio level threshold is reached, a timer is started. When the audio level is reduced below the threshold, the timer is stopped after a short countdown, and the timespan is logged.
python -m pip install audiotimer
install requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Note: on Mac OS you need Portaudio installed, otherwise you will get the error ERROR: Failed building wheel for PyAudio. Install it using:
brew install portaudio before installing requirements.
run using:
python -m audiotimer
see -h flag for run-time options.
Eample usage:
Run using a treshold of "50" and a buffertime of 30 seconds:
python -m audiotimer -t 50 -b 30
The program is intended to be used as a way of testing the battery life of battery powered loudspeakers. Set the speaker to play a pink noise at a certain level, and leave a laptop with the speaker to listen for when it dies out.
