WatchDog

In the WatchDog example, it feeds the watchdog chip if the D4 pin toggle. If the watchdog doesn't be feed in T time, it will cut off the power and the voltage falls to 1.25V, in this case, the MAX705 chip will reset and restart the power. About the time T:

T = 0.7*R*C+1.6s
R is default 5.1M, and C is default 44uF
Tge default delay time is 157.08s ±6%

RC are set in the board:
