FM Radio Kit with GS1299 Chip 76-108 MHz Charging via Micro USB Soldering Kit 5.5 x 3.7 cm with LED Indication for Electronics Education

The FM radio kit with GS1299 chip is an electronic set for assembling a small stereo receiver that, once soldered, will tune into radio stations in the 76-108 MHz band. The compact printed circuit board measures just 5.5 x 3.7 cm, allowing you to easily fit the finished radio into your pocket. The kit is designed for anyone who wants to learn soldering and understand how a radio receiver works. It is suitable for use in schools, technical clubs, and for home DIY enthusiasts. The radio is listened to through earbuds connected to the 3.5 mm audio jack.

In addition to the receiver, the board features a charging circuit with the TP4056 chip and a 3.3 V voltage regulator. The lithium cell is charged directly via the micro USB connector, for example, using a standard mobile phone charger. The radio operates at a voltage of 3.7 to 4.2 V, and the operating and charging status is indicated by LEDs on the board. Control is provided by buttons for volume and station scanning, along with a side sliding switch.

  • Type – stereo FM receiver kit for soldering
  • Receiver Chip – GS1299
  • Frequency Range – 76-108 MHz
  • Board Dimensions – 5.5 x 3.7 cm
  • Operating Voltage – 3.7-4.2 V
  • Power Supply – lithium cell charged via micro USB (cell not included)
  • Charging Circuit – TP4056 chip
  • Control – buttons for volume and tuning and sliding switch
  • Output – 3.5 mm audio jack for earbuds
  • Indication – LEDs for operation and charging
  • Required Tools – soldering iron, solder, multimeter, wire cutters, screwdriver, and tweezers (not included)
  • Package Contents – printed circuit board, GS1299 chip, TP4056 charging chip, 1117 3.3 V regulator, micro USB connector, 3.5 mm audio jack, buttons, sliding switch, LEDs, electrolytic and ceramic capacitors, 32.768 kHz crystal, 47 µH coil, 1N5819 diode, and resistors

Before starting, lay out the components and compare them with the labels on the board. First, solder the surface mount chips, then the resistors, capacitors, diode, and finally the buttons, connectors, and switch. Clean the finished board of any residual flux and only then connect the lithium cell to the pads marked BAT. When soldering, pay attention to the correct polarity of the diodes, LEDs, and electrolytic capacitors.

The FM radio kit with GS1299 chip is a fun project that will leave you with a functional pocket receiver upon completion. Thanks to charging via micro USB, there is no need to buy disposable batteries, and you can recharge the radio just like your phone. The small board measuring 5.5 x 3.7 cm and the labels for all components make it easy to navigate even for beginners. The kit serves as a teaching aid in physics and electronics lessons or as a gift for a young technician. While assembling, you will practice soldering small components and working with the charging circuit of the lithium cell.
