Build Cheap USB/Sd player with Digital FM tuner

Post by Rksk » Tue Sep 13, 2011 1:14 am

I found a fully assembled kit for that from a local shop for just LKR600+ from my area. Think it will be more cheap in Colombo.

2. Song number display
3. Song selection mode
4. Auto channel scan and save provision

My dad bought that long time ago from Pettah. I remember it was about LKR 800.00. Seems like the price has gone down over the years. It's an excellent player.

As I found it's only LKR300 (in Colombo) Now.

It's a greate way to build a music player for Home use. Also there a component called "MP3 Modulator" for vehicles. We can plug it to vehicles and tune the radio to recieve its output. But this system is more usefull than it, because we don't need a radio & we can listen to radio using this.

He he.. what a coincidence. He use this as well. He wanted to listen to some of the old hits (Jim Reeves, Tom Jones, Hank Locklin, etc...) while driving and his list constantly changes. Since there was no SD/MMS or USB pen reader, we went for that. It needs to be plugged to lighter base. We need to put the favourite songs on the USB pen and the unit transmit them on a FM frequency (which is adjustable). We can tune the radio to that frequency and listen to the songs. There is a remote that comes with the unit which we can be used to put next/previous track, etc... This was about LKR1000 (in Pettah) about 2 years back. This is also a very useful device. If we can add an image of that too, that'll be advantageous.

I linked an image on my last post, but it doesn't work always.

This is a very popular thing in SriLanka now. All the private buses are using this now :)
