Well here I am again after taking a new (very old) look at the code base (2016) which had been lost, but nothing is really never lost on the Internet. I found my old code at Hackster.io and took a look at it. What I had done was to weigh each of the bits, in binary and then deliver an integer representation of the bits:
int temp = ( frac[0] + ( frac[1]*2) + ( frac[2]) + ( frac[3]*8) + ( frac[4]*16));
My code base is not finished but at the very least now I have no errors in the IDE. Now the only thing to do is to compare 2 integers in a loop 10x for the KHz and 20x for the MHz.
I have kind of had it with the Arduino IDE and its butchered C code really C++ more butchy. My plan is to buy an Arduino JTAG burner, about 20 bucks for the kit, from Aidafuit, and see how that works out. Then I will use AVRdude + what I call bare-metal programming, in ANSI C with the Eclipse IDE.
