Grove - I2C FM Receiver

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.

tip
More details about Grove modules please refer to [Grove System](https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Grove_System/)

Platforms Supported

ArduinoRaspberry Pi
caution
The platforms mentioned above as supported is/are an indication of the module's software or theoritical compatibility. We only provide software library or code examples for Arduino platform in most cases. It is not possible to provide software library / demo code for all possible MCU platforms. Hence, users have to write their own software library.

Getting Started

note
If this is the first time you work with Arduino, we strongly recommend you to see [Getting Started with Arduino](https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Getting_Started_with_Arduino/) before the start.

note
**1** Please plug the USB cable gently, otherwise you may damage the port. Please use the USB cable with 4 wires inside, the 2 wires cable can't transfer data. If you are not sure about the wire you have, you can click [here](https://www.seeedstudio.com/Micro-USB-Cable-48cm-p-1475.html) to buy

**2** Each Grove module comes with a Grove cable when you buy. In case you lose the Grove cable, you can click [here](https://www.seeedstudio.com/Grove-Universal-4-Pin-Buckled-20cm-Cable-%285-PCs-pack%29-p-936.html) to buy
  • Step 1. Connect Grove - I2C FM Receiver to port IIC of Grove-Base Shield.

  • Step 2. Connect Grove - Button 1 to D2 port and connect Grove - Button 2 to D3 port.

  • Step 3. Plug Grove - Base Shield into Seeeduino.

  • Step 4. Connect Seeeduino to PC via a USB cable.

note

If we don't have Grove Base Shield, We also can directly connect Grove - Temperature and Humidity Sensor Pro to Seeeduino as below.

* 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.

  • Step 4. Upload the demo. If you do not know how to upload the code, please check How to upload code.

  • Step 5. Open the Serial Monitor of Arduino IDE by click Tool-> Serial Monitor. Or tap the ++ctrl+shift+m++ key at the same time. if every thing goes well, you will get the result.

The result should be like:


Started
Chip ID: 0x5808
Stable Freq:102.60MHz
Signal Strength: 46
Signal Strength: 46
Signal Strength: 45
Signal Strength: 45
Signal Strength: 45
Signal Strength: 45
Start seeking down...
Stable Freq:94.00MHz
Signal Strength: 44
Signal Strength: 51
Signal Strength: 51
Signal Strength: 50
Signal Strength: 50
Signal Strength: 51


Now you can hear the FM station, and you can press the Grove- button 1 and Grove- button 2 to change the radio stations. And you can rotate the Grove - Rotary Angle Sensor to adjust the volume.

Have fun~
