B4R Code Snippet Oscillator 1-1,000,000 Hz

Using 16b TIMER 1 and inline C to get oscillating output at PIN 9 (Arduino Uno). the frequency can be set to 1Hz up to 1MHz, the output is set by division of the 16MHz crystal.
When the frequency is power of 2 the output is accurate, otherwise the error can be up to 0.04%.

Sub Process_Globals
    Public Serial1 As Serial
    Private frequency As ULong
    Public divide As UInt
    Public prescale As Byte
    Private out As Pin
End Sub

Private Sub AppStart
    Serial1.Initialize(115200)
    Log("AppStart")
    
    frequency=500    'enter requency 1Hz to 1MHz
    
    If frequency>1000 Then
        prescale=0x1A    '0b11010
        divide=1000000/frequency-1
        Else
            prescale=0x1C    '0b11100
            divide=31250/frequency-1
