Raspberry Pi Pirate Radio -- Episode 355

 

Matthew relives some of his youthful hacking by dabbling in a little "pirate radio" broadcasting. In this video, he builds a handheld FM transmitter from some salvaged parts and a Raspberry Pi. The Pi uses a piece of software to convert wav files to frequency-modulated signals emitted from GPIO pin 7. To improve transmission quality and prevent undesired signals, Matthew also designs and builds a band pass filter and seals everything in a shielded case.

  • Good to see the video addressing filtering, very cool.

    I have fond memories of mix-tapes being blasted via small pirate radio station in a friend's room at that same college that created PiFM.. : )

    It happens when there are too many young engineers with time on their hands : ) But it was analog generated FM at that time, sadly no Pi's.. : )
