newbie: 16F688 with COUNT & SEROUT

Hi Shortbus,
You might try using a timer to count for you.
Look at this thread: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...ighlight=timer

Thanks for the reply.

Can you recommend a particular timer? Also, why can't COUNT be directly utilized for this application?

in your previous code, add a # sign before W1 and post your results.

SEROUT 0,N2400,["Hertz: ",#W1,13,10]

Count is not bad, but using a timer allow much flexibility, accuracy, and use less code space.

You'll also be limited to about 50Khz at the input to the PIC if your PIC is running at 8Mhz.
