Re: Router Issue? (Watchdog not Feed)

Okay, I've been learning a little more about watchdogs, and while I don't think my answer was "just wrong", I realize now that I should clarify something:

The watchdogs on an FRC robot need to be "fed" by the code just like any other. The difference with FRC that I didn't fully understand was the fact that the cRIO FPGA has its own watchdog, mostly invisible to the user, that is fed based on new TCP packets. There is also a user watchdog, which is what simpsonboy77 was referring to. So neither of us were "just wrong!"
