Using a readymade disk image and one simple solder connection, turn your Raspberry Pi into a streaming pirate radio.
This project was originally created by Oliver Mattos and Oskar Weigl. It was revised by Ryan Grassel and extended by MAKE Labs engineering intern Wynter Woods. Go team!
NOTE: The Raspberry Pi's broadcast frequency can range between 1Mhz and 250Mhz, which may interfere with government bands. We advise that you limit your transmissions to the standard FM band of 87.5MHz--108.0MHz and always choose a frequency that's not already in use, to avoid interference with licensed broadcasters. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Note: At about 1:56, when he refers to "pin 4", he actually means pin 7, also known as GPIO04.
To make a resonant antenna (proper length for the frequency), divide 468 by the frequency, in your case 108. Smart to keep it vertical.
He should have turned the pirate flag pole into the antenna.
XD
🤣🤣
Formula for perfect antenna length:
300 / MHz = X
X x 0.95 = Y
Y / 4 = Z
300 is the speed of light in km/s
MHz is the broadcasting frequenzy
X is the radio wavelength
Y is the fullwave antenna wavelenth. The reason to multiply by 0.95 is to compensate for wire resistance.
Z is the length of the antenna which in this case is a 1/4-wavelenth antenna. You can also add a 1/4-th wavelenth counter weight to the ground so you have a halfwave antenna.
I would use the 27 mhz civil band freqs. No lawbreaking and you can reach 1000 miles away with the right conditions'
What unit of measurement is the result?
How do I get centimetres?
The speed of light is not 300 km/s! It is 300000 km/s! 300 is the Speed in Mm/s (Mega, not kilo). Because of this, the formula works well with MHz. The result is the wavelength in m. 1m = 100cm.
What I'm seeing is that the ideal antennae length is Y, but that Y/2 and Y/4 are acceptable?
@@iisgray Y/5 also works
This is the first time I've actually made something from MAKE
2:26 Fake typing 101
Lol
rofl =))
I know right XD
the Radioshacks by me all went bankrupt
They are going out of bushiness. Mine had a 90% off sale. I was like a kid in a candy store there. :'(
hacking is not a crime shirt while in the police car lol
Love watching you guys riding bikes down the driveway at Make HQ. Awesome cameo by Jake Spurlock. :)
Sweet! Just what I needed to be able to hear all my favorite music in the car! Yeah, this RC in the car ain't got any fancy RC :D Awesome!
I find at least 2 problems right from the beginning of this video.
1) He mentioned Radio Shack. They are sinking faster than the Titanic.
2) While this is a neat idea, who actually listens to the radio anymore?
Keep MAKING!
I listen to the radio; typically 4-6 hours a night, and some in the daytime, too.
Erik Swiger Weirdo. :-/ There's Internet streams for almost everything.
ARRRRR!
John Pyper The majority of my listening is at work. I carry a portable radio.
Smartphone + unlimited data + favorite streaming app + headphones.
This is actually really awesome! Now I finally have a use for my Pi! :D
Very cool project! We love RPi!
Thanks for the Video! A 20 feet BNC cable, using the core of the wire, works perfect too. Make sure you change the PiFM image in the provided ZIP from ISO to IMG. Otherwise, you can't flash it to the sd card
This kind of tutorial making is so awesome
Glad to see so many successful
best weekend project ever!!!
WOW! I didn''t know that the RPi was capable of Radio Transmitting :o
Definitively subscribed and liked :)
Holy! This is brilliant!
on xp win 32dsk imager succesfully burned the iso image to my card but how do i get to the root Pirate Radio partition to add my music and adjust the config file
What is that background music ? from where i can get this ?
All wanted to make a pirate radio station! thank you!
How can I get the sound louder? I have to turn my radio almost to the maximum to get a bit of sound.
Wonder if there is a way to run some sort of Modem emulation on this radio as well as a networking protocol that would allow you make a wireless connection between two Pi's?
So awesome! I will do it!
really nice video! thumbs up!
other then the raspberry pie, can arduinos be used, like makey makey or fayalab's nuget?
Is there any way to get this to work on the new Raspberry Pi 2 B+ 1 gb?
It seems awesome!
Make should make enough of these to cover Maker Faire Bay Area this May and announce the different shows and talks that are going on around the faire. Maybe give some shout outs to the different booths, exhibitors, or play some maker made music!
I am having trouble with removing songs when using Make's Raspberry pi image. I can always add songs, however when I delete them from the PIRATERADIO partition, the songs that were deleted will still be there. Can someone help me?
Why I couldn’t get it work?! I’m using a 3b+,and I flashed the image it gives us. I set the frequency and put in the songs, and I heard nothing on my radio. What could possibly go wrong?
You are just... AWESOME !! :D
Does this in Some other way works also with a Arduino or Stm32 uC with sd module, or with a mp3 encoder Board?
just a question! what is the max transmission distance of a raspberry Pi? and how To increase it?
I want to build a permanent transmitter for music into the original radio. Did the power is enough stable ?
PiFMPlay and KODI? Is it possible to use Kodi as a front end for a home broadcasting station?
Im assuming the image wont work on any of the modern pi's...any plans to update because the auto-run feature is mighty interesting...
it worked for me! thanks!
How would I be able to do like a live broadcast? To where the audio isn't pre-recorded but live?
hi
great idea
could this be used to broadcast a internet radio station on fm in your house / area?
can this be done
thanks
I just built this and I'm wondering how can you remove the music files once on there? I drag and dropped them off and they are still playing.
good video!
Please, tell me that there is a way to make this work with the Pi2. I cant even find a model b anywhere...
I loaded the ISO with Win32 Disk Imager onto a microsd card and turned on my pi2. Doesn't seem to be working?
It's a good solution to use a raspery but do you know that there are a lot of fm transmitter circuits un the net??
Would there be a way to set a playlist? If so, this could be useful to amateur radio operators...
Brilliant idea! Just add antenna range booster and broadcast as far as you want! :D
I'm curious, how specifically can you increase the range of your broadcast?
By adding additional antenna amplifiers to the output of Raspberry Pi.
***** Makes sense.. thanks!
Thanks MetalGear but is there somewhere else I can find the software for the Raspberry Pi SD card because the link you gave is dead. Hope you or someone else can help.
Thanks in advance JGN
If you use inspect element you can download it from the link
Would there be a way to live-broadcast a DJ set using something like this?
This also works with the Raspberry Pi 2 ? If so, is it the same contact point?
it would be great to get this going to have a little home radio station, mic input and live shuffling by a person. would be great for my boarding house :3
could this be ported to any PC so that you can connect an antenna to the headphone jack?
Cool project 🙌🏽 Are you aware of any commercial antenna that I could buy to add to my device? (one that would easily connect to the right place etc). I have been looking for one without success.
love the background music! ^_^
do you know artist?
Max Ignatenko darude - sandstorm
***** No, it not, i already listen to the original darude - sandstorm
+Alkshendra Maurya Te par de faghea - Herman Medrano, this video has the instrumental :D
can a audio input be used? nice for campus radiostation using a audio mixer.. also arduino ;-) would be nice ;-)
what is the transmit power of this?
Is there a turotial about how to do a live broadcast using this setup?
I'm having a hard time with this, yes, I'm new to Raspberry Pi. There isn't a flashing SD card tutorial on the project page but I have google and I figured that out. However, the files online don't appear to have a .img file to be flashed. Somebody please tell me what I've overlooked. Thanks!
You say "Pin #4" but it is GPIO4, the pin number is 7!!!
Booboosik this is why it didn’t work for me when I was 10 years old... well looks like I’m trying it again
Hey how can I use 4-way Capacitive touch module in the project?
Is it possible to modify this to broadcast from a small microphone and if so, how?
Anybody have code to easliy redirect audio from say xbmc or plex to the fm tx? Add a small projector, and you have a portable drive-in.
you just earned a subscriber
Can we have the source code of it?
want to add a lcd screen that say wich frequency you are emiting and 2 buton to change the frequency
Cool, and actually useful too.
i can't flash the sd card
do i must extract the .zip file to flash it to the sd card with win 32disk image
i tryed a lot but i didn't succeed
please help me !
Is it possible to combine this project with the internet radio retransmitter?
Good tutorial!
can files be played from an external location like a usb external hardrive?
I am using windows.I tried to use WinSCP but it did not work.If I make a virtual box would it work ?
What's the background music? Very catchy. Great project.
UZIMON - Champion Sound
what would be the range that the signal could cover?
i know ill probably not get a response because of how old the video is but jt possible to disassemble this to use for something else
Is there a way you could modify it so you could transmit your voice live?
Whenever I try to download your img file It downloads as a iso file and the iso file can't be read
Just a quick question... does a jumper wire HAVE to be used to connect to the GPIO pin for an antenna or can any wire simply be wrapped around it and secured?
So i confirmed today... i cut off an end of a male to male 3.5mm audio wire and attached it to pin 4 and works flawlessly. I guess self-troubleshooting does pay off
You CANT'T stay within the FM band because PIFM emits a square wave signal, which will always emits unlimited harmonics, so you will ALWAYS transmit in military and avionic bands, this why the raspberry PI foundation attempted to make PIFM not work anymore on later models.
Thanks for the heads up.
It would be awesome to combine this tutorial with playing audio via bluetooth to the PI.
Hey,Can i tune the frequency from my phone/Internet radio??? Great Project!!
Can I try this project with Raspberry Pi 2 model b?
Is there a way to use this just to listen to music in my car from my iPhone to the car radio. I've bought many FM transmitters that never worked well. But I don't want to do anything illegal. Do I need antenna for short distances? I Just want to transmit a few feet. Is it legal?
Just tune it to a frequency that doesn't have any stations broadcasting to it and you should be fine, without the wire it only works up to 1-5 meters soo you should be fine.
Anybody knows if it is allowed to use in Germany... Because I think it is not allowed at all even if there is no other one using the Frequency. :/
Every time I download the file it says its corrupted?? Is there anywhere else I can get it?
do you do the same thing for the raspberry pi 2 b
Great Idea thanks
Where can i find the image for this still ??
How long does the 12 gauge wire have to be?
No PiFM disk image in the git repository. Where is it??
]
wondering what the power output would be like .5mw? anyone know?
can we use it to produce AM ways also
Can you please tell us how to make DIGITAL pirate radio with Raspberry Pi
Does this support Raspberry Pi model B+?
Can you attach this to mains power?
is there a version for Raspberry Pi2 yet??
What software do I have to get ????
ahhhhhhhhh When you said radioshack it hurt a little... Good thing I have a MicroCenter 20 mins away... Super lucky
nicely done video *thumb up*
How many watts can this thing transmit at?
What do you plug the pi into
What is the background song please ?
