Compact, accurate, and easy to build frequency counter designed around a PIC16F628 and five 7-segment LED digits. Perfect for benches, labs, and DIY radio/electronics projects.
π Wide Frequency Range: 1 Hz β¦ 50 MHz
π’ Five-Digit Resolution: displays as x.xxxx kHz / x.xxxx MHz / xx.xxx MHz
β‘ High Input Amplitude: measures signals up to ~30 V (see tips for best practices)
π Crystal Measurement: supports 4β40 MHz passive crystal checks
π Auto Range Switching: adaptive gate times for stable, precise reads
β/β Programmable Frequency Offset: add/subtract an IF or reference offset
π© Very Low Parts Count: PIC16F628, 20 MHz reference crystal, 5Γ LED digits + a few resistors
π Power-Saving Display: optional sleep if the reading doesnβt change for ~15 s
π Flexible Power: USB 5 V or DC 5β12 V input
Amateur radio and RF prototyping
Function-generator and oscillator verification
Crystal sorting and trimming (4β40 MHz)
Frequency readout for DIY transmitters/receivers
Keep input leads short and avoid long ground loops to reduce noise.
For high-level signals, use a simple attenuator/probe to protect the input and improve accuracy.
When measuring crystals, remove the crystal from its circuit and follow proper test wiring.
Avoid enclosing the display and reference crystal in tight metal spaces that trap heat; temperature drift can affect readings.
