Hi all,
I’ve been working on a few small PIC BASIC projects lately — mostly simple automation and sensor modules. I’m trying to make them as stable and reliable as possible, especially when they run unattended for weeks or months.


I’d love to hear what habits or tips you all use to make your PIC BASIC code and hardware more robust.
Do you have any favorite tricks for error handling, power supply noise, watchdog timers, or protecting I/O from unexpected signals?


Thanks a lot in advance.
