Arduino Frequency Generation

Probably a useful read for anyone trying to accurately generate frequencies in the kHz range using an arduino.

I need to accurately produce 38kHz signals for IR communication projects.
Not all pins give the same frequency output for the same code.

Results in brief: avoid PWM pins if you are not actually using the PWM feature.
In my code instructions took about 4microseconds per half wave form cycle.

Full results after break:
