x-band motion detector with a BS1???

I have a project going with the x-band motion detector and a BS2, which works fine. I have not been able to get it to work with a BS1, and I don't know if that's my lack of coding skills or if a BS2 is the minimum processor necessary.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

John

    The BS1 doesn't have a COUNT statement which is normally used to measure the pulse stream from the X-band detector and there really isn't a fast enough alternative. You could build some external hardware to help (a counter that's controlled by the BS1), but then you might as well switch microcontrollers.

    Ok Mike, I appreciate it. I'll stick with the BS2.
