Procedure
Step 1: Install thepifmlibraryusing the following
commands:
$ mkdir pifm
$ cd pifm
$ gcc 1m std=c99 pifm.c o pifm
Step

2: find yourself an FM radio receiver and

tune it to 102.0 MHz. This will create executable
file pifm.

Step

3: Run the file using the following command:

$ sudo ./pifm sound.wav 102

Advantages of
Implementing FM on
Raspberry pi
Minimum

hardware required
Least number of connections
Low power consumption
Portable small microcontroller board
area
User friendly interface

Applications
Humidity

And Temperature Sensor

Weather Station
Digital Picture Frame
Gaming Device
Mobile Robot
Supercomputer
Home Automation System
Digital Camera
Touchscreen Tablet
Landline

Some Additional Points

Audio

file to be transmitted should be

placed in the same directory as the source
code file

The

program supports only wav audio file

format.

The

frequency selected should be same as

the tuning frequency of the audio receiver.
