# WDT
|
|
|
|
The WDT is used to restart the system when the application crashes and ends up into a non recoverable state. After enabling, the application must "feed" the watchdog periodically to prevent it from expiring and resetting the system.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Usage Example
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from machine import WDT
|
|
wdt = WDT(timeout=2000) # enable it with a timeout of 2 seconds
|
|
wdt.feed()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Constructors
|
|
|
|
#### class machine.WDT\(id=0, timeout\)
|
|
|
|
Create a WDT object and start it. The `id` can only be `0`. See the init method for the parameters of initialisation.
|
|
|
|
## Methods
|
|
|
|
#### wdt.init\(timeout\)
|
|
|
|
Initialises the watchdog timer. The timeout must be given in milliseconds. Once it is running the WDT cannot be stopped but the timeout can be re-configured at any point in time.
|
|
|
|
#### wdt.feed\(\)
|
|
|
|
Feed the WDT to prevent it from resetting the system. The application should place this call in a sensible place ensuring that the WDT is only fed after verifying that everything is functioning correctly.
