Do you have a non-tristate hal pin driving the has_bit pin? That would prevent you from setting it by hand resetting works for me: pcw@pcw-G41M-Combo:~/linuxcnc/configs$ halcmd setp hm2_7i76e.0.watchdog.timeout_ns 100 hm2/hm2_7i76e.0: Watchdog timeout (100 ns) is dangerously short compared to hm2_write() period (1000000 ns) hm2/hm2_7i76e.0: Watchdog has bit! (set the .has-bit pin to False to resume) hm2/hm2_7i76e.0: trying to recover from IO error or Watchdog bite pcw@pcw-G41M-Combo:~/linuxcnc/configs$ halcmd setp hm2_7i76e.0.watchdog.timeout_ns 10000000 pcw@pcw-G41M-Combo:~/linuxcnc/configs$ halcmd setp hm2_7i76e.0.watchdog.has_bit false hm2/hm2_7i76e.0: error recover successful!
