    The document describes an example of how not to use a watch-dog timer. It shows a main program loop that intentionally leaves out the command to reset the timer, allowing the timer to expire and reset the microcontroller. This causes the microcontroller to continuously reset, blinking the LED on PORTB. The watch-dog timer is enabled in the mE programmer to demonstrate this example of improper watch-dog timer use.

    EXAMPLE 5

    EXAMPLE 5
    Using watch-dog timer

    This example illustrates how the watch-dog timer should not be used. A command used for resetting this timer is intentionally left out in the main program loop, thus enabling it to win the time battle and cause the microcontroller to be reset. As a result, the microcontroller will be reset all the time, which is reflected as PORTB LED blinking.

    Example 5
    /*Header******************************************************/ void main() { OPTION_REG = 0x0E; asm CLRWDT; PORTB = 0x0F; TRISB = 0; Delay_ms(300); PORTB = 0xF0; while (1); } // // // // // // Prescaler is assigned to timer WDT (1:64) Assembly command to reset WDT timer Initial value of the PORTB register All port B pins are configured as outputs 30mS delay Porta B value different from initial

    // Endless loop. Program remains here until WDT // timer resets the microcontroller

    In order to make this example work properly, it is necessary to enable the watchdog timer by selecting the Watchdog Timer - Enabled option in mE programmer.
