    Here's the math I used to come up with my output frequency.

    The internal clock executes at 1Mhz.

    If I use a 1:16 Prescaler, then it will take 256*16 clock pulses to overflow Timer0. 1,000,000/(256*16)=244Hz

    Math was never my strong suit though...

    I moved the enable/disable to where you suggested, and now I'm getting a 10Khz signal.

    Getting closer...

    EDIT: WOO! I forgot I'd changed another value! It works now! I'm getting my 244Hz signal! Thanks so much!

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
