| Oct 11, 2016 at 4:06 | comment | added | SlySven | I will just repost a comment of @scruzz in a related topic: 'Using PiFM is illegal in many countries. It produces terrible radio emissions that bleed all over the radio spectrum. The Raspberry Pi Foundation deletes all posts about it on their forum, and those close to the company/foundation warn that “PiFM / PiRate considered harmful. Do not use.”' | |

| Aug 3, 2016 at 15:55 | comment | added | bk79 | sorry, I missed there were 2 posters there - thanks @goobering for the article link. Best case here, at least we are centralizing access here to all of the available information on pifm. | |
| Aug 3, 2016 at 12:57 | comment | added | bk79 | Thanks @goldilocks , I did see that article previously and not much help there. Just to be sure I ran through it this AM with the same results. One difference at this point is I'm using a newer pizero (1.3) vs the original. I have one of those at home, I'll try out. What you've said basically confirms my suspicions regarding support for pifm. No info out there really and nothing from devs in over 3 years. I'll check out the I2C devices and try my luck with those. I'll leave this post open for now to document the pizero 1.0 vs 1.3 and if anyone else has had success. | |
| Aug 3, 2016 at 10:43 | comment | added | goobering | Makezine ran an article called Pirate Radio Throwies that implemented PiFM on a Zero. Might be worth a look for gotchas? | |

| Aug 3, 2016 at 5:40 | comment | added | goldilocks♦ | "I'm guessing it might have something to do with the pi-zero vs the regular editions." -> They are the same in this context except perhaps that power regulation might (I'm not sure) be a little different and hence you might not get as strong a signal. Beware that I think the creators of PiFM abandoned it a long time ago and (this is very much just an opinion) despite much of the hoopla it is really more of an experimental oddity than a practical tool. If you want an FM transmitter for the pi, there are I2C based devices around for $20-25... | |
