BASIC Stamp Editor Debug Terminal
Build the circuit shown in Figure 2.
For close range motion measurements while connected to a computer, turn the potentiometer
adjustment all the way counterclockwise.
Connect power and programming cable to your microcontroller board.
Test X Band Motion Detector.bs2 is featured in this document’s Test Code section and is also
available for download from the X-Band Motion Detector product page at www.parallax.com.
Download and open Test X Band Motion Detector.bs2.
Use the BASIC Stamp Editor and load it into the BASIC Stamp microcontroller.
Test X Band Motion Detector.spin is featured in this document’s Test Code section and is also
available for download from the X-Band Motion Detector product page at www.parallax.com.
Open the Parallax Serial Terminal and make sure it is set to the Propeller Chip’s programming
port at a baud rate of 115200 bps.
Use the Propeller Tool software to load the application into the Propeller chip.
As soon as the Propeller Communication window reports “Loading…” click the Parallax Serial
Terminal’s Enable button.
Make sure nothing within a 10 ft (3 m approx) radius is moving as you monitor the Debug
Terminal.
“Motion not detected.” message.
Move your hand toward or away from the face of the antenna PCB, and verify that the Debug
Terminal displays larger numbers along with the “Motion detected!” message.
The Debug Terminal should display values of zero or close to zero along with a
X-Band Motion Detector (#32213)
