I have posted several threads about converting 24Hz pulses to 60Hz basically a 5/2 ratio. I tried a phase locked loop, it sorta works, but my chip count is getting high, and I am thinking about making more of these and selling them if I can write a computer program to resolve wave sound files.
Therefore, since I am not very familiar with micro controllers, I was not planning on using one. However, I remember an engineer friend of mine mentioning the BASIC stamp. I have dabbled in BASIC so, I might approach the problem with this as a solution, especially if I can do it with one or two chips.
I would think that I could sample the 24Hz side for one second. Take that number and use it to divide a much higher frequency quartz reference by some large value of N so that I can get it back down to
60Hz. Therefore my lock time would be one second. I can have an easy lock indication and a fairly fast response to any changes in frequency.What do you guys/gals think?
