cd fm
sudo git clone https://github.com/markondej/fm_transmitter.git

cd transmitter/

sudo apt-get install -y mpg123
sudo apt-get install -y make gcc g++

sudo make


cd
sudo raspi-config
Now select change password and then console auto login
now expand file system and reboot your rpi


gedit (or nano)

How to use it

To compile this project use commands below:

Code:

sudo apt-get install make gcc g++

make

AFTER INSTALLATION USAGE:

Then you can use it by typing:

Code:

sudo ./fm_transmitter [-f frequency] [-r] filename

WAVE Files


You can open WAVE files or read audio data from stdin, i.e.:

Code:

sox star_wars.wav -r 22050 -c 1 -b 16 -t wav - | sudo ./fm_transmitter -f 100.6 -

USB sound-card



To use a USB sound-card type this:

Code:

arecord -D hw:1,0 -c1 -d 0 -r 22050 -f S16_LE | sudo ./fm_transmitter -f 100.6 -

Some devices have problems with the one up (there is a warning in the terminal like buffer overflow after a few seconds - the transmitting is slow and will stopp), then you can use the following:

Code:

arecord -D plughw:1,0 -c1 -d 0 -r 22050 -f S16_LE | sudo ./fm_transmitter -f 100.6 -

Law



Please keep in mind that transmitting on certain frequencies without special permissions may be illegal in your country.
