USB powered am/fm radio

Hi All,

First of all, i would like to say hi to all the engineering enthusiatic here, it's such a nice forum with so many active posting and a great helpful community I can see.

I hav a small project in my mind and i hope u guys can give me some pointers. Here's a descriptions of the small project i wanna do.

"USB POWERED AM/FM radio"
-Small am/fm radio receiver with speaker
-Able to power by USB w/o detected as an storage device.(it's nt meant to b a storage device), i juz need the power from the usb to power the am/fm radio n play it while i plug into the usb.

I am not sure whether it's workable n i dunno anythin bout usb /pc programming, i realy hope all the expert here can give me ur guidance. Thank you...
 

Re: USB powered am/fm radio


If you need just power it is readily available and I wouldn't worry about data pins at all ..
I am pretty sure your PC doesn't care much if you "steal" some mAs of power through it's USB port ..

and you can use power without use data and computer can not detect any hardware connected
have nice job.
