Hi All,

looking to make a USB watchdog timer. ie PIC circuit connected via USB (I know the new chips have USB support) and software running on PC. software on PC sends 'something' every 30 seconds etc. PIC is monitoring, looking for these keepalives. if Keepalive no received in 60 minutes then drop power relay pin to reboot PC - simple.

I see there are some USB commands in PICBASIC - but has anyone used them to do anything like I'm talking about there - could it be done in PICBASIC (without ASY code)

this is pretty close to what I'm looking for : http://www.j-works.com/wdt284.php
