Welcome to my instructable. Actually this FM Transmitter is from the past. It is actually from the year 2001. I saw the pictures and files so I wanted to reconstruct it as a useful instructable.

I'll be adding so steps and photos. So stay tuned.

You can read about this project in Arabic on my blog Here

In 2001 I decided to build my own FM transmitter. I didn't look for something fancy or very long range. I started to look for a working circuit inside books on the university library but no help.

I found large circuits with complicated designs. I even had no guarantee that they will ever work. So I've decided to go online and search for something that is already tested to be working.

While you can nowadays easily find good and less expensive FM Transmitters for sale, I wanted to make my own to learn how they work.

So I've decided to build it.

Step 3: The Coil

I made the coil from a thin insulated copper wire. I got the wire from an old destroyed transformer.

Then turned on a pen tube. This is a very simple step. You just need to make 5 turns of wire over the pen tube, then cut the wire.

You need to solder the coil into the PCB and at this process the coating on the copper wire will be removed. So you don't have to worry about the thin insulation around the copper wire.
