BotWave

Broadcast FM radio with Raspberry Pi networks

About BotWave

BotWave turns inexpensive Raspberry Pi devices into an FM broadcasting system for learning, experimentation and creative radio projects. A single transmitter can run on its own, or several Pis can be linked into a remotely managed network with live streaming and automated actions. Installation takes a single command, and the server and client components are published as open-source software on GitHub for inspection and modification.
