Hello everyone

Please some one can help me to know if is possible check the value of frequency on my analogue input

 

Cheers

it would certainly be easier to do it on a digital pin...however it is possible.

 

You would need to determine what is a high state and low state in software(set thresholds) and then create a timer to measure the time between two high to low transitions or two low to high transitions.

I think it may be difficult to find the actual frequency by time-domain of the signal is having big noise or high level harmonics.

One thing I can suggest to do is convert the signal to frequency-domain. Following page may help you.
You can get the frequency information from its peak. The resolution/accuracy depends on how much samples you can use for the FFT and its window-function.

Is a signal coming from a MDU radar module  that change frequency however some one  is closer to  or farther from the device
