I doubt we will ever get a legit version of Pira RDS coding! Unless Jan decides to release it himself.

Better RDS.png

The dual op-amp can be a TL072, but I found that the LM358 gave me cleaner signals (probably because of the filtering effect of the slower slew rate). I've also got a Veroboard version, but haven't drawn it up yet.

Excellent work once again Albert!

Not only have you added the extra features! The board is neat, Compact and a low component count!

Very Impressive!!

I had a look at the board, and discovered a missing resistor in the output filter. This version fixes that and makes the labelling a bit clearer.

happy new year

I used 2N3904 transistors throughout. The supply diode is a 1N4148 - it just prevents silly mistakes!

To you too!

Lets hope there is a brighter new year ahead!

yep:) cheers everyone .Guys keep it up.

Iv just got round to building sinus's originally posted RDS encoder from the start of this thread. Its making alot of noise. Like Ghost noises. If i try and filter it out, i loose RDS. Iv never had this issue with other rds encoders. what could it be ?

Hello all, hope you're all keeping well, it's been absolutely ages since I've logged onto the website. Now I've got a bit of time again to get the soldering iron out.
I've seen models flying around of sinus rds encoder,
Am I blind, is there a download link somewhere embedded into the forum to download the project and files. Many thanks. Hope its not a dumb question, I am getting a bit blind in my older age, lol.

Hello Electronics Hobby

I can assure you that you did not miss anything, There was no links posted on this project for a few reasons.

Firstly, The Gerber files for the PCB are not really necessary unless you are looking to get them manufactured?
The circuit itself is not critical and can be easily built on Proto Board.

Secondly, The software involves using EXE files which can in some cases be deemed harmful to PCs! Although i have used the software several times, I did not want to be held responsible for any miss-use of the files in question.

Thankyou for your reply, ive just seen you've sent me a pm regarding the files. Many thanks sinus trouble and I look forward to building your project. Thankyou again

Good one sinus .

is possible to use wifi (BT) card or USB instead RS232

Anyone willing to inbox me a link to the hex file and RDS software??

Hello Rigmo!

I am not sure about WiFi support? Maybe it is possible to send commands via remote software or some kind of wireless adaptor?

USB does work with the appropriate drivers and some modifications as explained throughout this thread.

I may post more details in the near future, Watch this space!

Hello Woodyalaska!

I can only apologise for the delays! Please bear with me! I will post them soon!

Above is the latest RDS software! It contains all you need to setup the SINUS RDS!

Whilst i can give you my word and experience that it is safe! You do so at your own risk!

Good luck!

Here are the Gerber Files!
