FM Radio (tea5767)

Basic tutorial of how to setup a FM Radio Module (tea5767) with the Raspberry Pi.

PARTS:
RPI 3 B+ – https://amzn.to/2DcfywB
4 Amp Power Adapter – https://amzn.to/2Q77KPL
16GB Micro SD – https://amzn.to/2DaPZMF
FM Module – https://ebay.to/2CUeUmL
(ALT) FM Module – https://amzn.to/2DfDShp

SCHEMATIC:

5V >> 5V
SDA >> GPIO2
SLC >> GPIO3
GND >> GND

SETUP:
Enable I2c interface:

Type

sudo raspi-config

Select “Interfacing Options”

Select “I2C”

Select “Yes”

Save and Exit

Verify Module is detected:

sudo i2cdetect -y 1

You should see 60 in column 0
