USB FM radio library was published on CodePlex

I just published a part of my latest project – dynamic library to work with FM receivers on CodePlex under MS-PL. So, feel free do download, test and use it.

Note, that this release is preliminary and has a lot of bugs. Also, RDS is not fully implements as well as recording capabilities with Direct Sound.

I’m keep working to provide WPF UI for this library to “productize” it.

So, what are you waiting for? Download and Spear the word with this news! This is the first and only fully managed library (as far as I know) to work with RDS, TMC and FM data. Also, there are not a lot of information about HID usage as FM receiver in managed code.

Download latest release of USBFM.DLL >>

I mentioned three devices, I tested with Silicon Labs (PID = 0x818A, VID = 0x10C4), PCEar (PID = 0x819A, VID = 0x10C5) and ADSTech (PID = 0xA155, VID = 0x06E1)

I just downloaded the documentation. However the help file is not displaying any content.

Can you provide some documentation as a starting point for this API?

@liron, you should figure PID and VID of this hardware. The best is to ask the manufacture, or look into documentation. This way it should work. Also, if you figure it, please contribute results for me to support your hardware for all others

Hi Tamir,

I was stepping through the code and I think I know where the problem is, the results from device.WriteRegisters() returns false, thus device.initFMInfo() fails. Can you help us out with this?
