Suggestions: Interfacing USB-based FM transmitter with linux-kernel
 

Hi,

I need an FM transmitter (with RDS support) that can be controlled via the linux kernel, preferably connected via USB.

Can anyone recommend a good programmable USB-based FM transmitter?

I have investigated an architecture with i2c-tiny-usb interfaced with a Silicon Labs si4713, but the additional circuitry to get it to work it too much. (I'm not an electronics engineer).

Cheers,
Earlence

any ideas?

I looked at i2c-tiny-usb with the si4713,but its beyond my electronics capabilities to fabricate a board like that.
Anyone know of a simpler solution?

I found a solution.
a RDS encoder controllable over RS232 which outputs a signal for an FM transmitter. A quick google should give you the results.

Cheers,
Earlence
