Great job John,

I was not familiar with this device, but now I can see a number of very interesting applications for a couple of these little chips.

I may have to pick some up and play with them.

Well that's cool. I've had the light wand in my mouth several times without knowing the ins and outs.

A while ago I have blogged on how to measure the frequency of such events:

If you have an Arduino, you can make it throw an interrupt on the flank of your pulse. A hardware timer can tell you the time between the flanks.

I also have the similar code for a TI automotive microcontroller.
