This is just awesome! I used to build FM radios back in the 70's with discreet components, in fact my first stereo system was entirely self-designed and built. But it's been years (make that decades) since I worked on any audio projects and I had assumed that these days with gear being so cheap that nobody was doing it anymore. You have restored my faith in the spirit of building home-made electronics. This is a beautiful design, and to anyone who asks "why not just buy a cheap one from China" all I can say is that they don't understand what it means to design and build something from scratch.

Not exactly from scratch. The amplifier was already there. The FM IC is already there. The digital potentiometer is also there. The LCD with built-in controller is already there. However I agree with the spirit of your comment. It's a great satisfaction to build something from bits and pieces.

Right 👍👍

The top quote..."everything worked fine even on the first try".....this proves your dedication and practice Sir!!!

Your videos are just great. While many of these things are above what I can do, I absolutely love watching you put them together! Thanks for sharing!

I watched this video a bit after it came out, and still come back to it since it's my favorite video by far

Keep making awesome, yet simple video's. I love them. They keep my curiosity's fire going!

I remember watching this 5 years ago, I understood little to nothing. Now I understand everything 😄

Thank you Scott. Lots of work and high level of knowledge. No competition with that.

I tried building one when i was 15. It was a huge failure, but with your videos i am comfortable trying it again.

I love watching your videos man great job again from great Scott. Thank you sharing your ideas and projects.

I love your builds. Keep up the great work!

Awesome follow-up on the I2C video. As usual top notch edited video, and voice-over. (still it's a funny accent, but by now, it's a trademark!) Looking forward to part 2 and the schematics and sketch.

You provide such a great merit to your viewers. Much appreciated.

Scott is really great and his work too.

GreatScott, I have been watching your channel for quite some time now, and love the way you go about making your tutorial/project videos. I was wondering if you would consider using an old CRT TV to make an oscilloscope. Not as a substitute for a modern one, but I think it would be enjoyable to see you make a video using old technology to make something cool. I personally have done this with little effort, but I figured you could go into more detail, and possibly add more functions than the one I built. I am an aspiring electrical engineer, and look up to you. So thanks for everything you do.

Congrats! Your English is getting better in evry video! That is awesme! Keep making videos and keep sharing your creativity with the world! Good job!

nice work

I'm just starting with electronics and I can say that, despite the fact that I can't follow much of you say and do, your channel is amazing!

Great video! After this project, can you also make a tuneable FM transmitter?

You are a genius ;-) thank you for all of your interesting videos, like someone else said, I don't understand much of it but it is really interesting.

That Was Awesome Dude. Keep up the great work. Nick.

That radio module supports volume control, you don't need digital resistor ic, you can control volume from arduino code. It supports RDS function too, so you can display radio info on screen, also you could save radio stations freq on arduino epprom memory, so you dont have to input frequency when powered on.

As always, super interesting. You make the build look so easy, I'm jealous

Nice project. I agree that the the prebuild class-D amp would have simplified the final circuit, but it looks like a good build nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely feels good when one's circuit works the first time assembling it.

Wow! As some1 who had gone through the full "grind" starting with intense valve, transistors and now Ic,s almost all of them in analogoue with intense practical experience in a wide range of consumer electronic equipment i can only sum up your efforts as simply awesome. Gr8 gd wrk man. Keep it up and don't listen to rookies asking for simple stuff. There's awful about of stuff for those guys on the net anyway.... Gutsy keep going...

Großen Respekt an dich, Deine Videos sind spitze auch wenn ich nicht alles Verstehe. Mein Leiblingsvideo: Die LED-Bar!

i really love your channel even i understand nothin, keepgoing mate

Man upload more, your videos are great

thank you on making this project, as you promised me so :D

NIce video as always. Man I sure have a long way to go, I am still stuck on trying to bias these freaking transistors!

I'm very motivated by your videos

Your videos are very helpful an fun keep going

Another awesome video. Thank you.

AWESOME DUDE! HOW I WISH I CAN BUILD THE SAME...

I enjoy your videos, and I think making your own video projector could be a great project.

This project is really good :D

Wow! Very nice design

Thanks mate. I can use for college project..

One of the best channell for electronic lovers

omg, this is going to be my new project for sure!!!

Nice video! I would have liked to see a little bit more info about the superheterodyne process and how it works/why it's used etc. IC's are very "black box" - where all the complicated circuitry is hidden out of sight, and unfortunately, out of mind. I think there is value in knowing the basics of how the mixer IC and amplifier ICs actually work beyond just how to use it with an Arduino. Perhaps in another video you could explain these processes. Keep up the good work!

Why can,t you make with the single Sony IC 1619 like one with LCD display with auto searching incl Bluetooth n recording ability.

Hi! Great Scott I appreciate all the knowledge you spreading around the globe. May you please make fm radio that can play mp3 as well.please.

Thanks for this nice idea. Do you think this can also work on other 'frequencies? Thinking about weather sat, airband, or community service channels ?

i have no idea what all this is but it sure is interesting!!!

It's been seven years, what you are doing now sir?

Please don't be fooled by the text put on the encoder board. It's not Clock & Data - It's two phase signal, 90 degrees apart. It's called quadrature encoding.

great video man, can you make a walk talk? would love to see that

Excellent project.

Scott Thank you very much really useful

amazing work

That was great.

Great Scott! A Radio!

man i need to find that teaches you how to use a breadboard and schematics at the same time. i will for sure build this one day!!! thanks for the vid. i am still learning. got lots of parts and an arduino, time to get busy hahah

Eres lo máximo, estaba buscando algo parecido y quería hacerlo yo mismo.

Yes, I guessed it as soon as you've uploaded the schematics of the case to Twitter....

sehr gute DIYs, hab Abo da gelassen...

subsynchronous I know, I have an '80s Hitachi receiver (or as it refers to itself: "Microcomputer-controlled quartz digital synthetizer tuner", I'm not making this up) with a really nice looking VFD on it. I kind of like all sorts of radios actually, I just like ones with no IC-s a little more.

Hi! Can you charge the batery at the same time that you are using it? Thanks!

dude you're a genius

Awesome! Well done 👍

it are needing more one amplification stage and one auto-gain circuit interconnecting (monitoring the 2nd amp. stage and inserting on the first stage) the two amplifier steps

awesome video ! thanks a lot !!

Please show us how to make a DYI ECG device for monitoring heart electric activity. That would be AWESOME project.

I think i remember a project that could potentially be repurposed. Jeri Ellsworth designed herself a thought sensing lightbulb hat that used a temple electrode and a very sensitive amplifier, i think she wore that at some convention or other. I recall seeing her project video, with explanations and schematics on her channel.

super project

Is there a place I could get the schematic for this radio and wanted to know if you have any plans in the near future do anything with a ham radio.. Would love to see a step by step guide of how to build a 2meter SSB radio.. I could probably find something on the Internet.. But love the way you put your videos together. Thanks again and keep up the great work

Terrific video! This video compares favorably to the quality videos of Make Magazine. I would really like to try this project. By the way, there will be many other comments that say, "Why don't you just buy a radio?" They'll never understand. Once again, excellent project.

Can you make a video about your electric skate board showing it's turning radius speed and other information as well as trying to replace the external parts with a 3D printed ones?

what a great great great job

what are the odds of me just learning about a superheterodyne receiver in my electronics communication class only to see one of your newest videos using one of them.

Thought you used a metal Military Ammo Box to protect from EMP ! Thank you for the video ! tjl

Wouldnt that small voltage regulator module eventually get to much power pulled threw it? Then again since you are using a single cell lithium battery it seems the circuit isnt drawing to much power. I used one of those small modules before and it caught on fire. Looking back, maybe i shouldnt have had it assist in powering a 100w led....

I really like yours projekts....but can you make a video about making door lock using arduino,LCD, servo motor and keypad...?

You are a genius

Great vid!

What if you wanted an analog tuner?

I would love if someone made a modern tube radio,I like the sound tube radio give,it a warmer ,smother sound,that's why they make high end tube steros and guitar amps.

I'm looking for an RM Receiver with an aux output, such that I could connect to a newer speaker, or cell phone, or whatever and play an FM station. This guy would know where to get that.

good work!
