PiFmRds
FM-RDS transmitter using the Raspberry Pi's PWM to generate FM modulation with real-time RDS data.
What is PiFmRds?
Pi-FM-RDS is a software-based FM transmitter that generates FM modulation with real-time RDS (Radio Data System) data, capable of including monophonic or stereophonic audio. It is designed for experimentation on Raspberry Pi hardware, enabling users to create low-power FM broadcasts with customizable station information. The project uses the Raspberry Pi's PWM generator to produce VHF signals and emphasizes technical accuracy and compliance with RDS standards.
Hobbyists, electronics enthusiasts, and developers interested in learning about FM-RDS transmission and experimenting with software-defined radio on Raspberry Pi hardware. It is also suitable for educational purposes in understanding broadcast protocols and signal processing.
Developers choose Pi-FM-RDS for its ability to generate real-time RDS data with dynamic control over station information, support for various audio formats, and compatibility across multiple Raspberry Pi models. Its open-source nature and focus on experimentation provide a hands-on tool for exploring FM broadcasting without requiring specialized hardware.
