Frequency generation with microcontroller

generation of microcontroller

What is the easiest way to generator a frequency with a microcontroller? Is turning an output pin on and off with time delays in between the easiest way or is there a simpler way?

frequency generation from microcontrollers

with an AVR or a PIC you could configure the Timer Capture/compare module to make it automatic... i think after setting it... it's auto... I think... easier...

frequency generating using 8051

I have played around with the PIC16F628A, however I have never used the Timer Capture/compare module for anything. How do you go about doing this? I just need some pointers. Also how would the pulse be turned on and off in software? I do not have any specific application at present. Just playing around with the PIC for my own interest.

Many thanks

microcontroller frequency generation

U can Use The PWM module to generate the frequency thats half of the clock frequency using the Controller ATmega16L

frequency generation using microcntroller

Hello, I just went through making the same project... A good book I used is called timin' and countin' by square 1 electronics they have a really good section about using the ccp ( capture/compare ) module... Its really easy to use and it wont tie up the pic so it can do other functions while it is generating the set freq..... good luck! -Ryan
