iam a person always having helpfull mind.I have interest to Know,Learn,and do something that would help others.
Intro: Arduino Frequency Counter

To find out the frequency of any signal we need to use CRO. We can also use frequency meter.But both of them are costly.Using Arduino Frequency Counter we can
easily measure the frequency of various signals.This Circuit can be easily made with very less cost when compare to CRO and Frequency Meter.
Step 1: Components Required

Arduino Uno.
3 Pin LCD Interface Board.
16 x 2 LCD
IC 74LS14
I have used 3 Pin LCD interface Board to Connect LCD easily with 3Pins. If you dont know to use 3pin LCD interface board. Click on the bellow link.
3 Pin LCD interface
Step 2: Operation of IC 74LS14

IC74LS14 is a schmitt trigger.In order to convert any signal into square wave schmitt trigger is used.
Advantages of Using this IC 74LS14
It is a 5volt IC
It's Output current is below 40mA
It converts any signal into square wave
The time period of output square wave is same as input signal,So the frequency of input signal to be measured does not change when converting it to square
wave.
Arduino Digital and Analog Pins only withstand 5Volt and 40mA current.Any thing out of this Range damage your Arduino. Since ic 74LS14 uses 5volt and gives
the output current less than 40mA.It is safe to use this IC74LS14.
Step 3: Schematic diagram
You can use any Oscillator circuit to measure frequency.I have used CD4047 which is a oscillator used for demo in this Schematic.
Step 4: Program Code(if you use 3 pin interface Board for LCD)
#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_SR.h>
LiquidCrystal_SR lcd(6, 5, 9);
const int pulsePin = 12; // Input signal connected to Pin 12 of Arduino
int pulseHigh; // Integer variable to capture High time of the incoming pulse
int pulseLow; // Integer variable to capture Low time of the incoming pulse
float pulseTotal; // Float variable to capture Total time of the incoming pulse
float frequency; // Calculated Frequency
void setup() {
pinMode(pulsePin, INPUT);
lcd.begin(16, 2);
lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
lcd.print("Instructables");
lcd.print(" Freq Counter ");
delay(5000);
void loop() {
lcd.print("Frequency is ");
lcd.print(" ");
pulseHigh = pulseIn(pulsePin, HIGH);
pulseLow = pulseIn(pulsePin, LOW);
pulseTotal = pulseHigh + pulseLow; // Time period of the pulse in microseconds
frequency = 1000000 / pulseTotal; // Frequency in Hertz (Hz)
lcd.print(frequency);
lcd.print(" Hz");
delay(500);
Step 5: Program code (if you use LCD without 3Pin interface Board)
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
LiquidCrystal lcd(11, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2);
const int pulsePin = 12; // Input signal connected to Pin 12 of Arduino
int pulseHigh; // Integer variable to capture High time of the incoming pulse
int pulseLow; // Integer variable to capture Low time of the incoming pulse
float pulseTotal; // Float variable to capture Total time of the incoming pulse
float frequency; // Calculated Frequency
void setup() {
pinMode(pulsePin, INPUT);
lcd.begin(16, 2);
lcd.print("Instructables");
lcd.print(" Freq Counter ");
delay(5000);
void loop() {
lcd.print("Frequency is ");
lcd.print(" ");
pulseHigh = pulseIn(pulsePin, HIGH);

pulseLow = pulseIn(pulsePin, LOW);
pulseTotal = pulseHigh + pulseLow; // Time period of the pulse in microseconds

frequency = 1000000/ pulseTotal; // Frequency in Hertz (Hz)
lcd.print(frequency);
lcd.print(" Hz");
delay(500);
