It looks like the watchdog timer only has a range of 1-8 seconds?
Is there a way to get more time? I would prefer 3-4 minutes.
I need big lengths of time in my code for motor movements for example. There are many long delays in my code longer than 8 seconds. Plus many little ones that add up.
Would prefer not to bust up my code into little 8 second chunks if possible.
I put in one decoupling capacitor and the 1.5k resistors. It did seem to help, but still get freezing. Just after longer periods :~
I put in the decoupling capacitor before the RTC but after the pull up resistors. Can I put another capacitor before the pull up resistors? That would seem to give a clean signal to the i2c clock and data lines maybe?
Can I put as many capacitors as I like all over? Or are there problems in doing so?
To ask again, would putting decoupling capacitors on clock and gnd and data and gnd between each light do anything? Or would that destroy the signal instead of stabilize it?
And again, does anyone know where to buy an i2c extender breakout board?
Thanks : )
