    I so must be psychic... I just logged in to the forum to check if this document had gone public. And it had, like 20 minutes earlier or so.

    This is just what I need, tutorials, examples and documentation.
    Keep up the good work!

    found what looks to be a typo in frequency count.spin

    the assembly cog is launched with the value of freq rather than the address of freq

    shouldn't it be cognew(@entry, @freq)

    Who says you have to have knowledge to use it?

    I've killed a fly with my bare mind.

    The counter module inside the Propeller, each cog has two for 16 on each Propeller. Customers felt they were inadequately described in the manual so I wrote some documentation for them.
