Frequency Counter: Measuring a square wave from a LOW logic level to HIGH logic level
Hi there, I'm trying to measure the amount of time it takes for an inputted signal from a function generator onto my micro-controller using Mbed code. I was just wondering how I would go about doing this? I'm new to this so excuse my novice knowledge of coding! If you could help me it would be great. Thanks

Hi Ben,
Since MCU's clock is not very high, the sample rate would be limited, so it's not proper to use MCU to measure frequency. I found this article may help you on this topic though.
