I'm working on using an ATtiny to watch EMC2's charge pump. The plan is
to have a count down that gets reset by a charge pump edge. If the
counter reaches 0, then an alarm pin gets set. The counter reset value
determines how long the charge pump has to do a reset. I can write code
with the appropriate value, but if I wanted to make the watchdog watcher
generic, I should have a way for a user to make the setting on the fly.
My problem is that I can do this with a dip switch, potentiometer,
serial or SPI link, or some other way I haven't thought of yet. Does
anyone have any thoughts on what would be a good way to do this? The
primary purpose for the watcher is to keep the motor drivers powered
down until the PC boots and EMC2 is running.
