Hello people!

Well, this is my first post....

I have a motion detector (based on pix_video/pix_blob) that outputs a bang every time something moves in front of the camera, and this works nice... But I want it to stop sending bangs after every detection (bang) for next 10 seconds, or somehow to become inactive for that period of time... Otherwise, bangs affect numbering of video files that I am making...

So is there a trick, how to automatically deactivate something that randomly sends bangs after first one for certain period?

I cannot open your attachment, but I hope the attachment will do the job.

Thanks man!
I needed this a little bit different, but it helped me to figure out how to make it to work in my case... The problem was that I needed something that will let first bang pass through, and than close the spigot for next 10 seconds and than be open again for any random next, and so on.... So that output bang rate can not be more than 1 bang in 10 seconds, no matter how fast input bangs are. Here it is, attached...

Hvala!!
