AR1000 & RDS

I have a FM radio board with an AR1000, the radio is working fine.

I’m not able to activate the RDS functionality to receive RDS data.

This are the settings I’m using:

R1: rds_en D6 => 1

R15: rds_ctrl D0 => 0

rds_mccc D1-D2 => 00

rds_sta_en D3 => 1

Could someone please help me?

Hi Herbertjan,

The actual chip on the one I received from Sparkfun is actually the AR1010 - which doesn’t include the RDS functionality! Shame, it would have been fun to play with.

Have you got any functionality beyond seeking to the first station working? I would be very interested in seeing your code if possible. The datasheet is not very helpful!

kind regards

Ian.
