40 MHz Frequency Meter

Posted August 9, 2008 by Chris

This project is a simple little frequency meter. It uses an ATMega microcontroller for its brains with a standard algorithm & timer for calculating the frequency seen on input. Newer microcontrollers will have CCP (capture & compare modules) that make this task a piece of cake, but a back to the basics look at thing never hurts!
