I'm looking for a timer, an "hour meter" if you will, that will automatically time my playing of a digital piano. It could work on the headphone output, so that when it detects audio it starts counting, and after the audio stops it stops after a small delay. It would need to be completely automatic - no "push start" or "push stop" (I could use a plain stopwatch for that). This way I could know exactly how long I've been practicing/playing.
Something equivalent to this, only triggered by audio: http://pitposse.com/hourmeter.html?OVRAW=hour%20meter&OVKEY=hour%20meter&OVMTC=standard
I've tried searches for "audio timers", "appliance hour meters", etc. and so far no luck.
If you're electronically inclinded, seems like a 555 timer attached to a counter/display thing would work. I considered making a 555 one-shot and have the output drive a relay that was wired into a standard cheap stopwatch... hmmm.
Help?
