Why not approch the problem from a different angle and use the edge
triggered interupt...... Use the timer to give you a "window" of say .5
sec and use the inturupt to read another register incremented by the
inturupt triggered by the edge dectection. This way you can count the
number of pulses in a given time frame. Using this method also free's up
you main program loop to do things like update the LCD display Etc.
