WDT+ as an Interval Timer
There are cases in which we don’t need the protection feature of WDT+. This leaves with a free timer
which can be used for other jobs. As I said before, Americans think differently than the rest of the
world and here is one proof of that ingenious concept. However, since WDT+ was intended for a
special mission, we cannot expect it to be completely like other timers. For example, it doesn’t have
any capture-compare pin associated with it nor do we have access to its counter. Even with these
limitations, it is still a useful bonus.
A lame demonstration of RTOS concept is demoed here.
