Introduction: Make an Arduino FM Radio! (using TEA5767)

About: Electronics Circuits Maker, PCB Designer, Electronics Popularizer, Green and Solar Energy Lover.

Hi guys from Instructables, In this tutorial i'll show you how to make a FM digital Radio easily using arduino uno (or any other arduino board), and the TEA5667 Fm Radio module, and audio amplifier and a LCD 16X2.

Let´s start !

Step 1: Block Diagram & Connections.

First, the part list of needed electronic components:

-Arduino UNO, or any other similar board friendly with the arduino enviroment.

-TEA5767 FM Radio module

-16X2 LCD

-2 Buttons Normally open (NA) or push buttons

-330 ohms resistor

-2x 10 k ohms reisistor

-Jumper wires

-Switch for to power on the radio

-Led(as a power on indicator).

-A free weekend or day :)

Step 2: Arduino Program & Libraries

*First you'll need to install the librarys on the arduino IDE and later compile and upload the program*

The code in text is here:

/*+-10--9--8--7--6-+
|  +------+  ++  |
|  | TEA  |  ||  |
|  | 5767 |  ||  |
|  +------+  ++  |
+--1--2--3--4--5-+

1 ----> Arduino SDA (pin A5 arduino uno)
2 ----> Arduino SCL (pin A4 arduino uno)
3 ----> GND
5 ----> +3.3 V
6 ----> GND
7 ----> Audio out (right channel)
8 ----> Audio out (left channel)
10 ---> Antenna 
 * LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
 * LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
 * LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
 * LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
 * LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
 * LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
 * LCD R/W pin to ground
 * ends to +5V and ground
 * UP SEARCH (A0)
 * DOWN SEARCH (A1)
 * ALL RESISTOR ARE 10K AND PUSH BUTTON IN PULL DOWN MODE

Step 3: Final Pictures!

Here some nice pictures and teh radio with the shield totally functional!

ESPECIAL NOTES:

*Remember to use an a good audio amplifier for the output of the TEA5767 FM Radio Module

*Vcc= 3.3 TO 5 Volts maximun for the power of the TEA5767 Radio Module

*To use a good onmidirectional antenna

*The radio doesn't have an automatic searh for the FM stations but it's modifficable by the program
