DIY FM Transmitter

at 5:00 am. Filed under Cool Gadgets, DIY Hacks, Electronic Hacks

Here is a nice and simple FM transmitter from David at Volunteer Lab Rat that will let you blast your iPod tunes on your stereo. Full details are provided on the site.

“You know these smart FM transmitters you can use to stream music from your iPod into your car stereo? Here’s a nice little project that I’ve made and that you can build yourself for around 5$. It’s my homebuilt FM transmitter that I use for streaming music into my car stereo and the old-school stereo at the metal workshop at my university! The awesome thing is that the transmitter is based on only one transistor, and is really simple to construct.”

    Haha! nice use of what looks to be a microchip sample box ;-) …still hate ipods though

  2. NGinuity Says:

    Very neat. It looks like you have built a single frequency voltage controlled oscillator. I like it!

    Hi Rol3ert!

    You’re absolutely right, it is a microchip sample box in which i recieved 2 PIC processors for making a 4-axis CNC controller.

    NGinuity, Good guessed, thanks for the kind words

    I thought I would be the first to guess it was a microchip box. oh well. Very nice project.

  5. NGinuity Says:

    David,
    Do you have a link to your CNC controller? That is something I am into as well.

    Solemn article. It make me lost in thoughts.

    Hi NGinuity!

    I’m still working on it! I’m building a 3 axis CNC milling machine ans a 4 axis CNC controller board. I can give you some specs on it though:

    Parallel port based
    4 axis control
    Manual mode with axis control through 4 rotaty encoders/jog wheels
    LCD display to show machine coordinates and to set up the controller
    Capable of handling 24A to feed the motors.

    The progress on the milling machine so far can be seen here:

    When it’s all done, I’ll try to get it posted on hackedgadgets.

    Best regards
    David

    Ive just brought a 175.000mhz Microphone system with 2 Microphones one of the microphones sadly has seen better days but what i did was is use the insides to create a Audio Transmitter and being legal as its got an exempt frequency ive adapted it and remove the microphone part and soldered a Phono connection to it plugged it in my laptop and hey presto it works.. :)

    Regards..

    Man! I just payed $20 for one at RaidoShack!

    hey, nice. Im new at these electronic stuff. Hope you can help me out, I recently bought Scosche IPTRNSX FM transmitter, and was looking for help to modify it since I cant find the antenna. Any help will be great, Email: Reigntrs8@gmail.com

  12. Wolfin Says:

    Good! All it needs now is a power input to sap the iPod’s instead of draining a 9volt. And maybe an antenna, which is easy enough.
