Harsh V Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Hello,I am trying to modify an FM radio such that it blinks an LED according to the data I transmit from my FM transmitter. I am following the circuit attached below. Is it possible to connect LED to speaker terminals to obtain such result? or any other suggestions? Thanks Quote
audioguru Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Many circuits on that website are wrong, especially this one that might NOT be an FM radio. Its transistors are connected with positive feedback that might cause them to oscillate and cause radio interference to a REAL FM radio. Or T2 is saturated and T1 is cutoff and they stay like that. Maybe the transistors are a weird regenerative receiver? If you connect an LED to the output terminals of a power amplifier like the LM386 then its very high output current will blow up the LED in an instant if the supply voltage is high enough for the LM386 to make the LED light up. An LED must have a current-limiting resistor or circuit in series. How are you transmitting data on an FM transmitter? Data is ones and zeros. Are the ones loud sounds and the zeros are no sounds? Or are you using audio-frequency shift keying when ones are a high pitched tone and zeros are a low pitched tone? Quote
Aarthi selvan Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 I tried this circuit but it's not working. How to make this circuit to work it as a fm radio receiver? Quote
audioguru Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 The circuit is too simple to be an FM radio. Quote
