 		 #120174 - processor fault
Responding to: ???'s previous message
the fault onyau is referring is correct when i mean processor fault i refer to the fault which occurs if the processor stops and not faults that will occur due to software bugs or infinite looping.if i use the watchdog timer the processor gets reset as soon as there is an overflow.i want to illuminate an led and then wait for hardware reset to restart the processor.how is this done .is there a location in the controller where the processor jumps if there is an watchdogtimer overflow where i can illuminate the led and wait for the reset pin to reset it
please help
any how thanks for the help.
