Testing a top octave generator

Hello, I was at your booth at the Jockey Club. I have some ATMEGA328P Pro Mini boards, and wanted to program them in assembler. As a learning exercise, I came across this article https://hackaday.com/2018/08/22/ask-hackaday-answered-the-tale-of-the-top-octave-generator and thought it would be a good challenge. So I’ve created a program which I think is doing the job but no way of testing it as I have no test equipment. I assume it would need a frequency meter or an oscilloscope or some such. Wondering if you (a) are interested and if so (b) could I bring it to you for testing (or email the assembler - I did it in Atmel Studio 7). I live in Islington so not hard to get to Adamstown.
Cheers - Alan

Bit sad you weren’t interested in this. I contacted Silicon Chip magazine, sent a copy of the ,hex file and they tested it. The ATMEGA328P performs like a MK50242 or equivalent Top Octave Generator IC driven by a 2MHz clock. Hard to find IC and usually $30+ US, Your catalogue https://core-electronics.com.au/pro-mini-05-board.html for less than $10. And as it is not a hard wired IC there is scope for experimentation.

I’m sorry we missed your post, but awesome that had it working when it was tested.
