Hi,
In the interests of improving the stability and availability of my remote SW2 systems I started to learn about the WatchDog timer. I currently have them attached via D4/5 to the grove connector. After soldering pins to the RUN connector on the Pi's and attaching the WatchDog JP4 (Dog1Out) I can now reliably enforce a Pi reset if SkyWeather2.py fails to 'pat the dog'. In my case I had to modify the SkyWeather2.JSON 'WatchDog Trigger' to 4 (from 6). Is this the recommended GPIO pin allocation/approach? I am aware that there is a newer timer model coming soon but I had these units left over earlier SolarMax projects and would prefer to get some from use from them.
Many thanks,
DM
