PIC Pulsometer
Approx construction cost US$60
This rather interesting PIC-based project was started because the author had a need to measure sub-microsecond pulses and frequencies in the megahertz range. Along the way it was found that capacitance could be measured at little extra cost – an important feature as the author is the proud owner of several hundred capacitors whose values he has difficulty reading!
More details on this construction project can be found in the November 2000 issue of EPE Online, the world's first web-delivered electronics and computing hobbyist magazine.
