FM Radio Track Info on Discord Status using SDR
Using an SDR, I wrote a FM-RDS decoder to decode the track info sent over most FM radio stations. That info is what your car uses to display the currently playing track on the screen. I use the eight character "station name" text string that is used (incorrectly) by most US stations to display scrolling track info. I send each block of text to Discord's servers to update my current status. Here it is displaying the scrolling "DEF LEPPARD LOVE BITES JACK FM" text on both a traditional radio and my Discord status! Love Bites by Def Leppard, played on KZJK 104.1 JACK FM in Minneapolis.
