    Well, at page 129, there is DEBUG statement described, have no idea, how to use it for RPM measurement

    Hmmm ...

    Here I do recognise THE Curious one ...

    Are you really sure you open your manual on page 129 ??? ... I think ( and I am sure !!! ) you open it on page 131 ...

    BTW ... open your eyes too !!! ( at bottom right ... and not top browser page window )

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    I already tried COUNT. Returns very low number of pulses - for 3700rpm it returns something like 120. Absolutely not precise.

    All my PWM/CCP channels are busy
    Too bad they don't make chips with 8-16 PWM outputs

    In your case you need an input.

    Can you multiplex with another CCP input?
