Cancel WDT

[berni]

Is there any way to cancel or deinit a previously created WDT?

Sorry @jmarcelino for missing that bit in the documentation... it makes sense now.

Thank you @MarcoBenini for the information about the defaults. That seems like a good solution.

To add that watchdog timer is actived at boot in the "standard" firmware.
It can be set or checked its configuration using pycom.wdt_on_boot([enable]) ands pycom.wdt_on_boot_timeout([timeout]) commands.

Default timeout in the firmware is 4294967295 ms (something less than 50 days).

Description of commands: pycom module

Hi @berni
As the documentation says you cannot stop the WDT once initialised, you can only change the timeout:

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."
