This video is about a further improvements in the firmware of a PIC micro controller based frequency counter and crystal tester in kit form sold on the internet under many names, for example "1Hz-50MHz Digital LED DIY Kits Crystal Oscillator Frequency Counter Tester".
This video came about while I played around measuring revolutions per minute (RPM) of various objects, like fans or propellers.
In previous videos, I described modifying the hardware to change the horrible "crystal oscillator tester" part into a pre-amp for the counter and how to improve readout resolution in the Khz range. These videos are Changing the hardware: Changing the firmware: Improving resulution and adding RPM mode:
The firmware (previous and latest version) as source or HEX file can be downloaded here:
