I wanted to share an excellent library by Alexandr-G for the SI4703 FM Radio Tuner module that I helped him develop.
This powerful little chip adds FM radio capabilities to your GCBASIC projects with some impressive features.
Alexandr-G's SI4703 Solution and Library Features
The SI4703 is a versatile FM radio chip with:
FM tuning range of 76-108 MHz
Digital Low-IF receiver for better performance and lower power consumption
RDS/RBDS support to decode station information
Stereo audio output for quality sound
Signal strength measurement to optimize reception
I²C communication for easy microcontroller integration
Getting Started
Hardware Requirements:
SI4703 module
Any GCBASIC supported microcontroller
I²C communication support
Basic components (wires, breadboard)
Wiring:
Connect your SI4703 to your microcontroller:
SDA → microcontroller SDA pin
SCL → microcontroller SCL pin
SEN → microcontroller allocated SEN pin
RST → microcontroller allocated RESET pin
3v3 → 3.3V power source
GND → ground
Software:
Alexandr-G's library includes example code for scanning stations, reading RDS data, and adjusting volume. You can download it from the GCBASIC demonstration repository to get started right away.
Kudos to Alexandr-G for creating this useful library! I think many in our community will find this valuable for projects requ
