dear all,

i am developing the project with the name frequency module, here i am trying to capturing the frequency from 10 hz to 999hz , i am facing some error in the capturing , if i give constant freq it varies with the 2 hz of tolerance, if i try to solve that , it will affect in higher range of frequency, i kindly request you all to help me regarding this 

regards sowmya

Which STM32 part? How are you measuring it now? What settings on the timer?

Use a 32-bit timer, clock it as fast as possible.

Use Input Capture, or PWM Input mode.

For frequency you can also use the IC prescaler.

dear Clive

Thank you for the response ,part no is STM32F103RCT7 the configuration of the timer and its details will be found in the attachment plz go through it and do the need ful

There is far too much to wade through there. The pin/tim connectivity is not well described.

I will observe that a 16-bit count wraps at 65536 not 65535.

I would use the interrupt on the slower (slave) timer, and I would be sure to clear the interrupt that I was servicing.

If you can use one timer with 2us (500 KHz) ticks, you could measure a period between 1-100ms with that accuracy.
