Hi every body .
Before A 3 months Ago , one of my friend ask me to build a Simple FM transmitter , he Would to transmit An Audio File from computer and PLAY it on any radio channel , By adjust the frequency of receiver as same as transmitter frequency
I searched on the internet on for this circuit , But I don’t find my target .
There were some circuits with many component , or with miss component , so I search more and i Found one of the amazing method, effective and easy to use , with few component .
and for easy interface with , I added A graphical LCD Nokia 5110 PCD8544 , and added a Potentiometer to tune the transmitter Frequency .
let’s see what we need :
Step 1: Material
At first , I connect all part’s on BreadBoard , and i design will PCB For it soon .
The component we need for this device :
1)Arduino Board , Uno for example.

2) LCD Nokia 5110 PCD8544

3)FM Transmitter module V1.0 ElecHouse
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140878623449?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
4)Solderless Jumper Male-Male
5) BreadBoard
6)potentiometer (50K , 500 Ohm)
7)Battery 9V With Holder .
Step 2: First Part : LCD Nokia 5110
This LCD was an Official LCD For Nokia 5110 Phone , It has a dimensions of 84*48 and can be interface on SPI Protocol .
I wrote An artical about it in arabic language on My Blog
http://www.genotronex.com/2013/03/nokia-5110-lcd.html
And the best way to program this series of LCD Is U8g library , It’s support many LCD Controller , You can read More About it in this link
https://code.google.com/p/u8glib/wiki/userreference
this LCD comes with different modules , like adafruit , sparkFun , chines stores , No matter what you are using , Just pay attention to Pinout and it’s connection To arduino Board .
For sparkFun LCD you must read this quick start Guide . and for adafruit LCD you well need CD4050 TTL Converter
I used LCD 5110 which is compatible with 5V Logic input “, you can buy one like this from Ebay store .
Step 3: FM Transmitter Module
The FM Transmitter module is the Heart of this project , it comes form ElecHouse and Works on I2C Interface .
the range of this module without antenna around 40cm , you can connect an external antenna to increase the range of transmitter .
This module based on KT0803K Monolithic Digital Stereo FM Transmitter Radio-Station-on-a-Chip , designed to operate from 76-108 MHZ
the Full Data sheet for KT0803K here
http://www.elechouse.com/elechouse/images/product/FM%20Transmitter%20Module/KT0803K.pdf
the library for this Module will found in the “Arduino Code “step .
Step 4: Potentiometer
There are 2 Potentiometer in this project , One of it “50K ohm” connecting to Analoge Pin A0 to change the frequency of the Transmitter , and the other connecting to pin 7 On the LCD To adjust the Screen Backlight
Step 5: Schematic
the schematic for this project is as following
LCD installation video
FM Transmitter module installation video
potentiometer of the LCD Baclight installation video
Step 6: Arduino Code
The full code , library, and schematic for this project you can find it on attachment
Note that you can change the FM Frequency band depend on your country , in this Line :
fmtx_init(fm_freq, USA); // you can change it for your countery.
/*
USA
EUROPE
JAPAN
AUSTRALIA
CHINA
*/
For My Country ,Jordan , I use USA “Works from 88-107MHz ”

Step 7: Final Video
connect your system to computer for example and bring a Phone with build-in radio and adjust the frequency to listen to your computer music on the radio channel
at the end , the video for the whole system
