| + | **Buttons:** | ||
| + | |||
| + | The DigiX comes with two hardware buttons: | ||
| + | |||
| + | RESET speaks for itself, and is equivalent to the RESET button found on other Arduino boards. Note that this button will NOT reset the Wifi module. It this is what you need, it can be achieved in a few different ways, please refer to [[wifi#tips|this page]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ERASE does a full erase of the MCU's program space flash memory - leaving only the read-only USB bootloader - which makes the port show up as a Bossa Programming Port - but it can be programmed from the IDE just the same. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The reason for it is that the regular DigiX bootloader runs in program space, so if your program crashes (overrun, 100% cpu, etc) it won't be able to be reprogrammed - you can then hit erase (and then reset) to go back to the read only bootloader, program, and be back in the game. | ||

| + | **Watchdog/WDT vs Standard DigiX in board menu** | ||
| + | |||
| + | The watchdog version is setup to allow the watchdog timer to work. If you don't want to use a watchdog timer or don't know what one is then use the standard version, otherwise your board will keep restarting. | ||
| + | If you want to use the watchdog timer here is a great example and post about it: http://digistump.com/board/index.php/topic,1356.msg6174.html#msg6174 | ||
