Re: Watchdog Timer Suggestions

[oarolsen]

The idea of using a microcontroller for the watch dog functions sounds
good. I would prefer an in circuit programmable one, perhaps the
smallest Atmel AVR. They also contain
quite a bit of EEPROM, e.g. for stroring configuration data for the
application. Programming could be done via three unused I/O-pins on
the board. This would enable the user to fully reprogram the chip
without removing it from the board.
