Discord Radio

This is a bot to listen to the radio on your rtl-sdr device in Discord.

You can purchase an rtl-sdr on Amazon. Any rtl-sdr will work.

Running Discord Radio Bot

Step 1: Follow the steps from the discord.py Python library for creating a Discord bot. Save the token that it instructs you to create.

Step 2: Run docker build -t discord-radio . && docker run -it --device=/dev/bus/usb discord-radio TOKEN in this repo where TOKEN is the token copied from step 1. The bot will start running.

Optionally you may instead run docker build -t discord-radio . --build-arg run_volk_profile=1 && docker run -it --device=/dev/bus/usb discord-radio TOKEN which will first run a profiling program that will reduce the CPU usage of the bot, but takes more time to build the Docker container.

Step 3: Join a voice channel in the same server as your bot and send it commands. Enjoy!

Commands

• !fm STATION tunes an FM station at STATION MHz, for examaple !fm 88.5 will tune 88.5MHz.

• !stop stops the radio.
