Grove - I2C FM Receiver

Introduction

3.3V 5.0V I2C

Grove - I2C FM Receiver is a wideband FM receiver module, this module is based on RDA5807M. The RDA5807M series are the latest generation single-chip broadcast FM stereo radio tuner with fully integrated synthesizer. The RDA5807M series have a powerful low-IF digital audio processor. The Grove - I2C FM Receiver has a headset jack, so it can connect to earphones or audio.

Version

/*
 * Modifications to the I2C_FM.ino by Mel Patrick - Wabbit Wanch Design
 * Modified routines for scanning UP or DOWN through the FM band
 * Modified routine to test for signal strength of received station
 * Modified routines to support bass boost and MONO signal
 * RSSI, read it too soon after setting a station and you get a small value
 * so it's better to wait a bit (50ms) and try it. minSignalStrength will
 * skip locking on a station with a weak signal (you could set the MONO bit) to get
 * better reception on these stations.
