frequency counter using 8051?

frequency counter using microcontroller

i need to make frequecy counter in 8051 for guitar tuning project...
plz help me with the code...?i tried with timer but the code did work and couldn't count the frequecy for only 1 second??

thank you

frequency counter using 8051

hai
its very easy
u have to program the timer/counter in counter mode ie.the gate of timer0 should be 1.program timer/counter 1 as timer .ie gate of the same should be 0.program this timer for 1 sec delay.then count the frequency for one sec.u can take the value of timer will be equel to the frequency. take care of the crystal frequency and other aspects.i hope u got the idea.if u want more details u may havr to specify all the other details also.

regards

sunish

frequency counter by using microcontroller

hi pjyc...i already check code from Jesper digital guitar tuner...it is for avr...i don't know avr...i want to implement his code algorithm for 8051??
could me out with the code plz..idea behind it...especially of timer count and count_hi??

here's the code
