Hi,
I have a 555 circuit which generates a 30khz pulse. I use this to flash an IR led.
I am using a photodiode to pick up the IR pulses. Now the problem i have is that when i measure the frequency at the receiver end it is well below the 33khz.
Should this be happening. Could it be that the signal is too small for the multimeter to pick up a correct reading?
Thanks
