Frequency Detector

Introduction:

This is a simple microcontroller based project that can be used to find the Frequency of a signal, RPM of a motor or any rotating parts etc. Here I used PIC18f4520. Its not necessary to use 18F series, but I used only for using MPLAB C18 compiler. There is an LCD display, which will display the recieved frequency.

Since I did this for my friend for finding the percentage of detection a of a known frequency I used PWM module also to generate different frequencies depends on the pot value read through ADC.

This video shows a simple demo on the working.

If you want any more details on this contact me.
