Jan 25, 2015 at 20:52 comment added Stephan Noller Will give it a try - but nevertheless - would feel saver with an external fallback, still. Any ideas on this?
Jan 25, 2015 at 20:15 comment added Gerben GSM communication shouldn't block the arduino code. You should at least be able to work around any blocking code that is in the library. Something like while(!Serial.available() && millis()-starttime<10000){wdt_reset()}.
Jan 25, 2015 at 17:02 comment added Stephan Noller Because it is not reliable and way too fast. I am running on reduced clock speed which means maximum watchdog cycle would be 3-4seconds. GSM communication takes time...
Jan 25, 2015 at 14:57 comment added Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Why can't you use the internal watchdog for this?
