The hardware design guidelines recommend <=10ppm for the 40MHz XTAL, so you can be confident that any espressif module and any reputable 3rd party product will have much less error than "several minutes a day".
In sleep modes...
No sleep mode on my devices and my real experience with ESP8266 / ESP32, not theory.

A frequency meter that deserves the name "Best Frequency Meter ever made with ESP32" should at least be two orders of magnitude preciser than average Xtals, else it is a frequency "display".

Solved. I needed to #include "esp32/rom/gpio.h". Apparently this changed going from v2 to v3.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for posting this :-)

When I try to compile it I get errors:

The first error is easily fixed as gpio_pad_select_gpio has indeed been renamed to esp_rom_gpio_pad_select_gpio in the latest version of the Arduino IDE. However I don't know how to fix the gpio_matrix_in and gpio_matrix_out errors. Have they been renamed as well, or do I need an additional include file?

Hi Araquel,
The code created by the topic is for Arduino. Please inform which IDF code you are using.
It's this one? Arduino Release v3.0.0 based on ESP-IDF v5.1.4 (latest)?
Please report the error message.

If you want to test compiling with the ESP32 IDF, try this:

Hello Sir.
Truly said I lost hope of getting an answer from you and I am very glad that you still manage the given topic.
Please, review the compilation log beneath (ESP32 core support version for now is the v3.0.2)

Re: Best Frequency Meter ever made with ESP32 - awesome!

Postby jgustavoam » Mon Jul 22, 2024 2:10 am

ESP32 FREQUENCY METER - NEW VERSION:

For the happiness of those interested in the project, I am posting an update to the code and schematics.
I chose another library for the LCD I2C Display. Simpler and functional with the new ESP32 firmware.
I removed the option to connect directly to the LCD, as it was confusing for some.
I changed the inclusion of some ESP32 libraries, to make them compatible with the new ESP32 firmware.

Connect the oscillator output to the frequency meter input to perform tests.
Use the serial console (Arduino IDE - 115200 bps) to change the oscillator frequency for testing.
Use resistors R1 and R2 to equalize the voltage level on the I2C bus to 3.3V used in ESP32.

If you are in doubt about the I2C address of your I2C LCD module, use the I2C scanner.

Araqel,

I suggest you use the same version of the Arduino IDE and the new ESP32 firmware as the updated project, to avoid the errors you are encountering. And of course, use the new updated sketch. Here at home, everything has been tested and working!

1) Arduino IDE version 2.3.2
https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

2) ESP32 Arduino V 3.0.2 - Install via Board Manager - This way you won't need to add links to the IDE preference!
it is not necessary = in "File/Preferences/Additional board manager URL's" add these lines.

Users, good news ahead!

In response to requests from some users (Akmin_PP, MotoDan, CP2011) , I am reworking the code to measure two frequencies at the same time (frequency meter with 2 channels). Almost finished!

And responding to a request from Xiaolab, I implemented a variable for calibrating measurements (offset)

Wow, this is getting really good.

Code: Select all

uint calibrator = 1;             // calibrator of frequency reading (may be + or - integer numbers)
frequency_1 = (pulses_1 + (multPulses_1 * (overflow + calibrator))) / 2;  // Calculation of frequency
Example:
Frequency CH0: 38,001 Hz
Frequency CH1: 10,000 Hz

ESP32 FREQUENCY METER - 2 CHANNELS:

I am posting now an upgraded version with 2 channels - under development!!!

There is still a problem with the program - the interrupts of Pulse counter 0 is interfering with the interrupts of Pulse counter 1.
This causes the program to crash, if frequencies are greater than 16,000 Hz. Test both channels of the frequency meter with frequencies below 15999 Hz, only for now.

Maybe the solution is to configure the interrupt priorities of the two counters, but this is only allowed in the new drivers for PC Unit.
I think that to use this new driver version, I will have to make several changes. I am researching a solution.

I implemented a variable for calibrating measurements (offset)- calibrator => calibrator of frequency reading (may be + or - integer numbers).

I chose another library for the LCD I2C Display. Simpler and functional with the new ESP32 firmware.
I removed the option to connect directly to the LCD, as it was confusing for some.
I changed the inclusion of some ESP32 libraries, to make them compatible with the new ESP32 firmware.

Connect the oscillator outputs (0 or 1) to the frequency meter inputs (CH0 or CH1) to perform tests.
Use the serial console (Arduino IDE - 115200 bps) to change the oscillators frequency for testing (same frequency in the both channels for while).
Use resistors R1 and R2 to equalize the voltage level on the I2C bus to 3.3V used in ESP32.

If you are in doubt about the I2C address of your I2C LCD module, use the I2C scanner.

ESP32 FREQUENCY METER - 2 CHANNELS - Checking out

The accuracy of the measurements is impressive!
See measuring the two oscillators with 15.999 Hz signals on both channels of the ESP32 Frequency Meter.

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.
