Variable frequency PWM input signal?

[E46Envyy]

Hello everyone!

I've recently started working with the picaxe and thought I'd ask for some help


Problem: I have an input PWM signal that needs to be read by the picaxe. I'm only concerned about the frequency of said PMW signal, which can range for 1Hz to 10Hz. If I wanted to set a variable to the frequency how would I do that? I've briefly looked at the pulsin command; with no luck...

Overall I'm very new to basic coding and i've tried searching around with little results.

Thanks, Lachlan

P.S I'm using the 20M2

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Check out the 'count' command as it should do what you need.
