Summary of 8 MHz frequency meter using AVR microcontroller
This project measures clock pulses fed to an AVR microcontroller's Timer input using Bascom code. It counts pulses over one second, displaying the frequency in Hertz on an LCD screen with a maximum measurable limit of 8 MHz.
Parts used in the 8 MHz Frequency Meter:
- AVR microcontroller
- Timer input
- Bascom code
- LCD display
This project can measure the clock pulses fed to the Timer input of the AVR microcontroller. The Bascom code counts the clock pulses for 1 second and display it over the LCD display.
The frequency is displayed in Hertz and this project can measure a frequency of max 8mhz.
