RTL-SDR with Raspberry Pi 'PiFm' project
Hi all... I was totally excited after receiving the RTL-SDR dongle, the poor man's Software Defined Radio Receiver. I hooked it up to see the beautiful spectrum of signals in SDR# software. And it worked like awesome. The blue waterfall is just awesome.... I wanted to test the device as fast as i could...But since i live in a villlage with no Commercial FM coverage, it semed to difficult to get hold to any strong RF signals.. Still i could get some random energies in 945-960 Mhz GSM band...pretty noisy... digital data.. so not much to be heard to... After some random browsing, i came across a beautiful project to make the Rasp Pi transmit in Wide Band FM mode. The project name is PiFm . It is a nice simple example of SDR transmitter. So without any hardware for FM modulation, a 300 lines C code modulates the DPLL output of Pi's ARM Processor with respect to the digital music data from a wave file. "Kudos to the guys who did it..". The output com...
