hiiii
I have made a application using pic18f4550, i am using MPLAB X IDE,a and pic c 18 compiler, now problem is that after some time my device goes in hang state, now i want if this hanging situation occurs, my device will restart, after study in internet, i found that by using watch dog timer, this thing can be possible, but i don't know how to enable watch dog time in pic18f4550, so anybody help me to solve this problem, if anyone has any link or material from which i can see some example of watch dog timer, so please help me..

Thank You
 

In mplabc18 folder see the help file for devices configurations. open help for PIC18F4550 and see how to set the configuration. This applies only if you are setting config words in code. If you are setting it in IDE then this is not needed.


Edit: See this file in docs folder. hlpPIC18ConfigSet.chm

See config settings for PIC18F4550 in the above file. It is same as I mentioned in my previous post.
