Hi all,
I am trying to make a frequency counter and wrote some code. I wanted to use a frequency averaging part to make things more accurate. But when I run the code with the averaging part it acts funny (at frequencies close to 10kHz).
Also please give me some pointers to the variable declaration (eg int, float etc) as I am pretty sure me using "int" is wrong. Furthermore the way I am doing the calculations, is there a better/faster way of doing them.
I'm using a PIC16F877A with 4MHz crystal.
Regards
