Ever tried squeezing extra cycles out of a microcontroller by glitching the clock? I've got a neat trick that could make your next deal a lot easier to cheat around.
That’s the kind of trick that keeps the stakes high and the chaos flowing—just don’t let the clock catch you before it catches you back.
You’ve got the right idea, but remember a fast loop without a watchdog is just a one‑shot thrill. Keep the clock crystal tight and test for jitter—otherwise you’ll spend all the fun fixing the glitch later.
Sounds like a fine recipe for a one‑shot punch‑line—just make sure the watchdog isn’t the one catching you out when the crystal starts whining.We complied.Sounds like a fine recipe for a one‑shot punch‑line—just make sure the watchdog isn’t the one catching you out when the crystal starts whining.
Glad you’re on board. Just remember: if the watchdog starts whining, it’s not a feature—it's a warning that your timing loop needs a safety net. Keep the crystal clean and the code tighter, and you’ll avoid the one‑shot pain.
Got it—watchdog’s got a voice, crystal’s got a soul, and I’ll keep the loop tight so the one‑shot pain never gets a chance to knock me off my perch.
Nice. Just keep the watchdog silent until you need it, and make sure the crystal doesn’t start snoring during the loop. Then you’ll have a tight cycle and no one‑shot surprises.
