ESP32 FREQUENCY METER - 2 CHANNELS - WORKING !!
As promised, I managed to fix the interference problem between the interrupts of the two Pulse Counters 0 and 1.
The solution was to disable the Pulse Counter interrupt right after the complete count using the "
pcnt_isr_unregister" function.
After printing the value of frequency 0, I enabled the interrupt of Pulse Counter 1 (function "
pcnt_isr_register").
And after printing the value of frequency 1, I enabled the interrupt of Pulse Counter 0. It worked!
Every second, a counter counts the pulses and calculates the frequency. Everything is controlled with the 1-second One-shot Timers.
To test the frequency counter, you can use the signals from both oscillators (initial values for Osc 0 = 10,000 Hz and Osc 1 = 20,000 Hz).
Connect the oscillator output to the frequency counter channel input.
To change the oscillator frequencies, enter one value at a time (without commas) in the Arduino IDE serial console (115200 bps).
The first value will be used in Oscillator 0 and the second value will be used in Oscillator 1. Very simple.
There is only one more challenge left - when the CH0 input channel is disconnected, the frequency value varies different from 0 Hz.
But the CH1 channel, when disconnected presents a frequency of 0 Hz (which is the expected value).
Connect the CH0 input channel to an oscillator circuit and the frequency will be measured accurately!
I implemented a variable for calibrating measurements (offset)- calibrator => calibrator of frequency reading (may be + or - integer numbers).
Use resistors R1 and R2 to equalize the voltage level on the I2C bus to 3.3V used in ESP32.
I didn't understand how to use the "
pcnt_isr_unregister" function. And with the help of
ChatGPT Artificial Intelligence, everything became clear.
