LMS Watchdog

LMS Watchdog is a program that is used to control the Watchdog circuit ("resetter", ...) and can reset the PC if it is "hacked".

Once a minute, the program sends a few seconds pulse to the corresponding COM port, which resets (charges/discharges the capacitor, etc.) the circuit so that the PC is not reset.

If the PC gets stuck (and thus the program stops working), the pulses will stop being sent to the circuit and the circuit will reset the computer, e.g. using the reset button.

This can be used e.g. for "download" computers, which run 24 hours a day (even without monitor and keyboard) and it is impossible to know if the computer is stuck.

After starting the program, a basic window will appear, where we can choose a port, minimize the program and exit the program. If the program is minimized, it changes to an 8×8pix window. which flashes (once a minute) to indicate the function. Clicking on this minimized window will enlarge the program to its original size.
