Demonstration of a fun little FM radio that can be controlled over an I²C bus. Shown is how to do this in two versions. One with an ATtiny85 to create a tiny radio, with a mini-jack (audio output), a trimmer (volume) and two buttons (scan up/down) for the radio channel selection. A second version is based on an ATmega328 with a rotary encoder for a more comfortable application and a display showing both the frequency and the volume (as bargraph). The Grove is based on the RDA5807M, a single-chip broadcast FM stereo radio tuner with fully integrated synthesizer, IF selectivity, RDS/RBDS and MPX decoder. The tuner uses the CMOS process, support multi-interface and require the least external component. All these make it very suitable for portable devices. The RDA5807M has a powerful low-IF digital audio processor, for optimum sound quality with varying reception conditions. The RDA5807M series support frequency range is from 50MHz to 115MHz.

One of the hardest things I'm trying to master is I2C control of these newer single chip receivers.
Just a thought but I'm sure there are alot of people out there that would buy it.
