Have you ever started a project, run into an issue, started a new project to solve the issue, and completely forgot about the original project? [Andy] went down a rabbit hole of needing a tool to ...

Let’s say you want to build a Nixie clock. You could go out and find some tubes, source a good power supply design, start whipping up a PCB, and working on a custom enclosure. Or, you could skip all ...

Image Credit: Allied Electronics, Inc. Frequency counters are digital devices for accurate measurement and display of square wave and pulse input signal frequencies. A frequency counter is an ...

7 or more digits frequency counters are precision instruments used to measure the frequency of an electrical signal. They display the frequency in Hertz (Hz) with a high degree of accuracy, often up ...

The PIC16C5X has one 8-bit timer (Timer0), which can be used with an 8-bit prescaler. The prescaler runs asynchronously, hence it can count a very high frequency. The minimum rise and fall times of ...

Everyone loves a bargain. Who doesn’t love a hacked oscilloscope? Well, it would be unusual for an oscilloscope company to teach you how to hack your own hardware. Besides, that’s already been done ...

The project aims to build a simple and easily-reproducible RF/Microwave frequency counter that is based around a PIC16F876A microcontroller. This particular frequency counter has three inputs ...

In frequency counters, the gating time allotted for counting is often too short to resolve low frequencies. A phase-locked loop could be used to multiply the input frequency. But in some cases, the ...

Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced may flash you back to the days of Pets.com and the blink tag, but there’s a lot of utility here. Hermetic Word Frequency Counter Advanced is a useful utility ...
