#94897 - Nope, never use an external when Responding to: ???'s previous message |
By the way, why not combining both watchdogs, the internal and the external one? Ever done this?
Nope, never use an external when a good internal is there, never use the internal if it is suspect (e.g. Intel kluge). Besides, who would want to risk a dogfight, who knows what will happen with two dogs in the same cage :) Re the reliance on a WD, you are absolutely right. I would consider it correct to install a marker that turned on when the WD bites and label that marker "replace board" or - unfortunately - more often "hire a designer that knows what (s)he is doing".
