How to measure signal period using microcontrollers This article describes an idea how to measure signal period, frequency and phase shift using microcontroller. Measuring signal period is common problem in embedded systems. This can be measuring time between two events or measuring signal frequency f=1/T and so on.Measuring of time interval or period is based on comparing of event time t with discrete time usually produced by timer. This usually is done by filling the event time t [...] embedded-general in Public bookmarkswith basicsfrequencymeasuringmeterperiodphaseshiftsignal
