DIY FM Transmitter
I will be following this tutorial since it requires the most basic components, will probably be good for a first attempt
... HOWEVER I quickly run into my first problem— I do not know how to translate circuit schematics into breadboard connections. (rip highschool knowledge) I tried to understand it a bit better using this guide and I will try building it on a breadboard!!
There is a CNC Milling Machine in the Interaction station to make custom Circuit Boards! Claudio told me that there is noone there that knows how to operate it, so I decided to figure it out myself <3 I just have to make them trust me enough with it hehe >:)
I got KiCad and replicated the Schematic on the app, using this tutorial to guide me.

Title:
fan archive of the pre-collapse society
Description:
After the inevitable Collapse of big-tech, the corporate servers have melted down and all surviving pieces of media are the ones previously stored in pirate / fan archives. The only way to share what remains (artworks, movies, photography, sculptures) is to describe and narrate them on pirate radio. The fandom artifacts broadcasted have survived the Collapse by being carefully curated, stored and maintained with love in self-hosted servers— in the bedrooms of nerds from the past! — inspired by Abigail De Kosnik's paper "Piracy is the Future of Culture"
