easy conversion project question

I completed a BS2p stamp (PBasic 2.5) project using a tilt measuring memsic2125. I need a second stamp and memsic combination but I would like to save some money. Basically, can I use a BS1 instead of a BS2, is the BS1 have enough memory and is the PBasic 1.0 robust enough for the programming???

thank you for your help gents!!!!

    It depends on what you need to do. The BS1 has much less program memory, less variable space, is slower than the BS2, and has fewer I/O pins. It's also cheaper and, for many applications, is more than adequate. Because of the speed difference, the PULSIN statement in the BS1 will produce smaller numbers since it has a unit time of 10us, but it works the same otherwise with the memsic sensor.
