Re: LabView Programming - Do we still need Watchdog?

(I was just a backup programmer last year and only really had experience programming when we got to the Buckeye Regionals last year.) Do we need to have Watchdog active this year or, if not, do you think it would still be a good idea to have it running just in case?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Sincerely,

Austin,
Lead Programmer, Team 3324
I haven't looked at this year's LV code to tell you if the watch dog is included.

As for the second part of your post, Using a watchdog timer is a good practice to ensure you don't get stuck in a loop you don't want to be in. I would reccomend using a watch dog.
