"Latch up" means something different to electrical engineers. If the processor isn't overheated, then it's not "that kind" of latch up. But, check for that, anyway. Most other ideas I have...interrupts shut off...executing a SLEEP...executing off into space...these should all be handled by the watchdog. Unless you get stuck inside the interrupt routine with the watchdog being reset continuously. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
