    So is it possible to count the pulses at the outpt using PIC then and take a decision based on that (i.e. the frequency)?

    Since the 2nd opamp is functioning as an integrator, no pulses are output.

    It is a filtered pure analog signal. So you need to acquire it by the A/D module of your controller.

    What you are going to do next is a matter of programming.

    You may have to look for rapid changes of the signal.

    An Osciloscope would help here alot.
