The SX28 I/O pin will connect to the stamp reset pin, no cap needed. The SX28 status register allows me to distinguish between a powerup/mclr reset and a wdt reset, so I could count the number of wdt resets during which no communication is estabished between the SX28 and the stamp and if that number exceeds a certain value, I could signal a buzzer, indicating hardware failure (one stamp pin also connects to that buzzer in case the SX28 fails). regards peter ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=97605#m97610 Need assistance?
