Watchdog

[kgzak]

I'll look into that but I don't think we do anything there. Even the out of the box code doesn't work. We open a new project and don't change anything, still watchdog.

Is the watchdog suppose to timeout between Auton and Teleop? We keep getting the error in between the two.

Look at what your code does in Autonomous. If it completes its task before the 15 seconds are up, does it keep feeding the watchdog? The default LabVIEW project doesn't.

It's okay to throw a user Watchdog in Autonomous if you aren't doing anything. Watchdogs aren't bad in and of themselves.
A Watchdog during Autonomous (after you finished doing anything) doesn't prevent Teleop from starting (as long as Teleop feeds the Watchdog).
It's when you throw one and you were supposed to be doing something, then that's a problem.

I'll look into it. But we ran an autonomous that all it did was feed the watchdog and still had issues. I may have screwed something up though.
