Multifunction USB FM Radio Based on LabVIEW

Abstract:

In order to make common PC with the functions of receiving FM stereo broadcasting from the local FM radio station and collecting the temperature and humidity data in surrounding environment, a multifunction USB FM radio based on LabVIEW is presented in this paper. In the presented FM radio, the C8051F340 processor with on-chip universal serial bus (USB) peripherals is used as slave computer to control the Si4702 through I2C bus and the DHT11 through I/O port, and PC is designed to be host computer to get user instructions and connect and control the slave computer to finish the functions of receiving FM stereo broadcasting and collecting the temperature and humidity data by graphical user interface (GUI) programed by LabVIEW software and USB communication. Experimental results show that the presented USB FM radio has a friendly GUI and can be used feasibly and efficiently. Furthermore, new functions of the system can be extended by virtue of upgrading GUI program.
