That's exactly as planned actually MR Chips. I don't need to brush up my skills though 10 Print Treeman, 20 Goto 10 (return but no comma right). See -I've lost nothing.Sorry. I tested this with an analog scope. You cannot get any meaningful results at 1Hz.
At such low frequency you will have to resort to a period measurement.
Time to brush up on your microprogramming skills and build a time interval meter using a microcontroller. Nice idea for an MCU project.
I'm waiting for parts from Les Chinoise . It sure would save a lot of time and eyesight.
Fortunately the crystals arrived last week so I can have a go dividing in binary- gulp.
