hey all, i am trying to read ac line frequency but there is a problem when I'm varying AC volts (using a variac) the frequency that I'm reading is also changing. Same thing is happening on simulation as well. Can someone take a look at my code and tell me what i am doing wrong ? i have also attached schematic. Thanks in advance.

You need to get rid of the capacitor on the input side. Use a bridge rectifier to feed the opto. Capacitors introduce lag. How this delays the opto switching point will vary with the input voltage.
Simplest circuit is:
<http://www.emergingtechs.org/p/zer.html>
Obviously adjust the resistor used based on the voltage involved. Your 10K total, suggests you are measuring a relatively low voltage, the example given, is working directly from mains.
This is surprisingly good.
A slightly better circuit is this one:
<https://www.edn.com/design/analog/4368740/Mains-driven-zero-crossing-detector-uses-only-a-few-high-voltage-parts>
Beware in all cases the operational voltage rating of the resistors involved. |

Hey thanks for your response. I have got things working like they should but i have one little problem, when i cut off the AC supply the frequency should drop down to 0 right ? Well, it is not, it is showing me the last calculated value anything that i may have missed ? |

No, it's not going to drop to zero.
The CCP doesn't trigger, so the last calculated value remains.
You need to add some sort of timeout to the loop. If 'pulse_flag' is not set in (say) twenty times round the loop, then set frequency to zero:
| Code: |
int8 loopcnt=0;
//then in the loop
if(pulse_flag)
{
disable_interrupts(INT_CCP1);
pulse = ccp_delta;
enable_interrupts(INT_CCP1);
freq = (6250000/(pulse*2));
pulse_flag = FALSE;
loopcnt=0;
}
else
{
if (loopcnt>=20)
freq=0;
else
++loopcnt;
}
|
Every time pulse_flag is seen, loopcnt is set back to zero.
If it gets to 20 (the loop always takes over 100uSec), it'll set freq to zero. So >0.02 seconds without a pulse being seen. |

Thanks it worked like a charm :D |

| You might want to add a hysteresis gate and divide by 2 FF after opto. This will clean up the slow edges, filter noisy signals and will make the input signal voltage intolerant. |
