Discord Radio Bot is a project aimed at providing radio enthusiasts with a Discord bot that offers admin functions, fun features, and utility tools. The project consists of a "mother" bot, which serves as the central server application, and multiple "child" bots, each running on Single Board Computers (SBCs) with Software Defined Radios (SDRs). These child bots have various capabilities that facilitate the functionality of the mother bot.

Purpose

The primary purpose of this project is to enable radio listeners to access their favorite radio stations directly from Discord. By utilizing SBCs with SDRs, users can tune in to nearby radio stations and stream them into Discord voice channels.

Technologies Used

Node.js: The project is built using Node.js.
Socket.IO: Used for real-time communication between the mother bot and its child bots.
Discord.js: For interacting with the Discord API.
OP25: Software for decoding P25 Phase 2 radio systems, used in conjunction with SDRs.
FFMPEG: Utilized for audio stream processing and manipulation.

Target Audience

The target audience for this project primarily consists of radio enthusiasts who wish to listen to radio stations within their Discord servers. Additionally, the admin and fun features of the bot may appeal to a broader audience interested in Discord bot functionalities.

Main Features

Radio Streaming: Users can request nearby radio stations from the mother bot, which then streams the audio into the Discord voice channel.
Admin Functions: The mother bot includes administrative functions for managing Discord servers.
Fun Features: Additional fun features are available within the mother bot for entertainment purposes.
