🕒 Dual WatchDog Timer Board for ARM/Raspberry Pi: Introducing SwitchDoc Labs' Advanced Fault Monitoring Solution Review

Planned to use some of these devices for a fairly large project I had but they don't seem to work with the Pi v4, the SwitchDoc guys did their best Support. our 4 year old blog post and find out for yourself,” needless to say I wasn't impressed with their staff.

Works well, easy to set up. A few tips: a) for the price the two halves of the board really should be separated, b) the footprint of the board is quite large, nice to see it minimized, and c) it would be nice to have all the connectors in one place , so you can use a ribbon cable or breadboard.

Good product. Works as advertised. I hooked it up to an Arduino with a complex program that occasionally crashed every few days due to a serial port conflict. This will reload it if it does. I will try with Raspberry Pi B++ next time. I have never used the P6 reset port.

I was very excited about this product, mainly because it was the only one I could find - I'm surprised no one else has a 555 break timer like If you look closely at the board you can see that the layout of the components is a bit messy and you can tell that whoever designed the board used the auto-routing feature of their PCB trace software used and didn't really think about it. what the tracks should look like. But that doesn't mean this board carries a lot of current or is prone to noise, so…

Got some SwitchDoc parts over Christmas to build a weather station project. Dog 1 DOA. The Dog 1 capacitor was not soldered to the board in the package.

WatchDog works as advertised; I use it to monitor a Raspberry Pi that is used outdoors and sometimes freezes due to static electricity. The SwitchDoc lab staff provide excellent support.
