The Raspberry Pi has changed the game for electronics enthusiasts, bringing high power and small size into the homes of hobbyists and tinkerers and roboticists, all for less than $50. Its GPIO pins allow the processor to easily interact with inputs and outputs in a way that many larger computers no longer can.
Pi Bites is a series of volumes designed to walk the beginning Pi enthusiast through some common protocols and tasks on the Pi. Using the Watchdog Timer introduces the user to the concept of an internal watchdog timer, what it's used for, and how to install and configure the Pi's built-in timer to keep a Pi-related system alive in the event of a system hang or crash. This book is a must-have for anyone who needs their Pi to stay working, even if they're not around to monitor it 24/7.
