More actual images will come as I become smarter than the counter--I'm trying to figure out how it works

Generate signals of various frequencies via the Atmega (e.g., pwm output) and send it to the frequency counter. That'll give you something to look at and experiment with.

It's not very intelligent. I have every confidence you will exceed it's ability to reason.  :-+

I'm trying to figure out how it works--and as I find a mechanism (banana-plug to grabber?) to hold leads onto the circuit while taking a picture. ;)

I threw in that BNC to alligator lead but as you know or will find out there is practically no end to the number of different leads and adapters you will want. I've got a whole lot and haven't even approached the "end".  :scared:
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

I wonder what story that little lost meter could tell us if it could speak?  :-//

In any case - looks like you're all metered-up and ready to go!
