This document describes a frequency meter project that uses an 8051 microcontroller to determine and display the frequency of an input power source. It works by using a counter to accumulate the number of events within a time period, then displaying the value on an LCD screen. The circuit includes an 8051 microcontroller, LCD display, cathode ray oscilloscope to view the waveform, and a variable power supply. Frequency counters are commonly used to directly measure oscillator and transmitter frequencies in applications like laboratories, function generators, and as counters.
