I’m pretty much done with this project so it’s time to formally document it. This project is a collaboration between Fred, KJ4LFJ who supplied the hardware and myself, Scott, KJ4LDF who supplied the software.

The scripts below (run in the order they appear) detect audio activity, log the data, and display such data graphically. Here is some sample output:
