Im using a 08M to handle/sort incomming RF signals. When it recieves a signal with valid header info it passes it along to a 40X1.
In order to make sure the 08M hasn't crashed I want to use a MAX705 watchdog IC with it. The picaxe will of course just sit there waiting for incomming serial data so i cant use a output on it to toggle the watchdogs input. Therefore the watchdog will reset the picaxe every 1.5 seconds. ( i think thats the max705's time out period )
Will this continual reseting of the part damage it or shorten its service life?
