// Adafruit Watchdog Library Basic Usage Example // // Simple example of how to use the watchdog library. // // Author: Tony DiCola #include void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); while (!Serial) ; // wait for Arduino Serial Monitor (native USB boards) Serial.println("Adafruit Watchdog Library Demo!"); Serial.println(); // First a normal example of using the watchdog timer. // Enable the watchdog by calling Watchdog.enable() as below.

Notice you can pass // a _maximum_ countdown time (in milliseconds) to the enable call.
