How to Operate Niftymitter v0.24

This instructable will tell you how to operate Niftymitter 0.24, a small open source FM transmitter. More information on the design can be found at www.openthing.org/products/niftymitter.

This transmitter is in development and has not yet been approved by any regulators. It is a low power transmitter and works over a very short range - please ensure that by using it you are not interfering with any other nearby transmitters.

Step 1 Plug in a source

Plug in any audio source into the 3.5mm jack socket. Set the volume on your source as low as possible.

does this transmit in stereo or mono? thanks!

This transmits in mono. The current version mixes a stereo pair into a mono broadcast.

Hmm, is there anything out there that transmits in stereo? I was looking at this: http://makeprojects.com/Project/Micro-FM-Transmitter/721/1

but that doesn't say whether it's in mono or stereo, so I'm guessing it's stereo?

otherwise it's just what I was looking for. :(

thanks

The project website is at www.openthing.org with links to the source files, and there are two instructables up explaining the assembly:

These were posted in December, sorry if you missed them.
