FrequencyTimer2 Library

Download: FrequencyTimer2.zip (version 2)

FrequencyTimer2 is compatible with Teensy++ 1.0 & 2.0. It is NOT compatible with Teensy 1.0 or Teensy 2.0.

Teensy 3.0 supports adjustable frequency output with analogWriteFrequency().

Hardware Requirements

Example Use

#include <FrequencyTimer2.h>

  Serial.println("  o - turn on a simple counter as the overflow function");
  Serial.println("  n - turn off the overflow function");
  Serial.println("  b - print the counter from the oveflow function");
