Timer 0 can be set up to count pulses entering the pic on RA4. You can make
a simple 555 circuit as shown below to generate the pulses.
TMR0 can hold values only up to 255. What if the frequency is higher than this? The answer lies in the prescalar which is inserted between RA4 and TMR0 and provides division of the count by 2,4,8...256 depending on the lowest three bits in the OPTION register, (PS0-PS2). Changing this to 1:256 allows us to count frequency up through 64K. Pushbuttons are used to change the prescalar and the multiplying factor is shown on the display along with TMR0.
Since TMR0 is used to do the counting, it can't be used to provide a one second interval at the same time. We must rely on instruction time counting to get one second. The routine nmsec is not accurate. 1 millisecond turns out to be closer to 975 microseconds, 2.5 % low. We try to allow for this when calling msec250 by counting more than 250 loops. The maximum we can count using one byte is 256 by setting the intial value to 0. Actually this turns out to be pretty close to the value we need, (maybe a little long because of the calls, returns and other overhead). You might also try D'255'.
If the message 'OVR' is displayed instead of a value for TMR0, it means that timer 0 has overflowed and the prescalar must be set to a higher ratio. The button on RB4 moves the ratio up and the one on RB5 moves it down. No debouncing is necessary for these buttons because they are checked only once each second. It also means you have to hold the button down for a while to make it work. Multiply the value of TMR0 by the multiplier indicated to get the actual frequency.
There is a method to get higher precision, but it is a little involved. The residual count actually appears in the prescalar when counting is complete. The problem is that the prescalar can't be read directly as a register. What is usually done is to use another pin to pulse RA4, keeping track of the number of pulses until TMR0 overflows. Subtract this number from 256 and the result is the contents of the prescalar when counting was first terminated. The total count is then the ratio times TMR0 plus this residual. For an example of this, go to http://www.piclist.com/faq and click on 'PICList projects' and the 'Weeder Frequency Counter PIC16F84 port'.
The frequency of the 555 oscillator is determined by the resistors and capacitor used. This suggests that since we can measure frequency, we can measure an unknown capacitance if the reistance is known or vice-versa. Also, any property which varies one of these can be measured if we know how this property makes the frequency change. Think of some properties you might like to measure with this setup.
