A short range FM transmitter is a low-power FM radio way that ,the circuit will collect the input through aux

I attached the pcb layout , you can directly use this , For 22 Gauge wire, form a inductor with 8-10 turns of

Fritzing file of circuit is attached. Now solder the Inductor to the circuit,

Once the pcb is prepared, insert the components in to If you have antenna, solder it or take hook up wire of
pcb according too circuit and solder it. 8-10cm as antenna.

Now we need to make Inductor, Take a copper wire I used 3.5mm female audio jack , because we can

For 18 Gauge wire, form a inductor with 4-5 turns of If you uses mic ,it senses the audio and broadcast to
1/4 inch (or) near by fm radio. It can also be used as spy bug.

I wanted to make a switch using this circuit for my room lights so if I just replace the mic with a
push button then will it work or there is something else that I would have to do ?
Capcitor kate voltage ko ho
Hello sir i want buy this fm transmitter short range how many price

How do you make it work with a male 3.5mm pin???

just in place mic attach the 3.5mm pin

Hi! Could you please send me the formula you used for calculating the inductance of the coil, my
wires have other diameters.
Also, is the formula working with the metric system?
Thank you buddy..

Nice! Thanks for sharing

Thank you ..
