HI,
I'm wondering why watchdog timer not work here in my code:

A question. How are you testing this?.
If with a debugger, you need to be aware that ICD, automatically disables the watchdog....
Then second, you have 'restart_wdt' selected in the delay setup. This means that whenever the code is executing delays, it'll automatically reset the watchdog. Result if it is looping and using delays, the watchdog will never trigger.
This is an example of why this 'feature' should not be used. It results in restart_wdt instructions being placed into the code that can accidentally be reached, so the watchdog becomes useless...... |

I know I have to restart wdt but it's commented out in the top of my code for test purposes...

I don't see what you mean ...? how to fix the problem ?
now i'm looking my display and it seems to me that watchdog is working but it takes very long time !
thank you  |

I'm testing it PICKIT2 in circuit programmer. |

The whole point of a watchdog, is that the restart should _only_ be reachable if the code is actually working right. You need a 'test' routine, which checks the status of everything the code is meant to do, and only resets the watchdog, if every part of the code is actually functioning correctly. Otherwise the watchdog is largely pointless...
<https://www.embedded.com/design/debug-and-optimization/4402288/Watchdog-Timers>
Look particularly at the section 'Sanity checks'.
Misuse of watchdogs is a very common fault.
Your problem is simple. WDT. You don't want this fuse. Selecting the watchdog in hardware, overrides the setup_wdt instruction. Yours is being hardware programmed to enabled, with the longest possible timeout. To software configure the WDT you need the NOWDT fuse (on some chips you have to use the WDT_SW fuse). |

also...
your slection for adc_clock speed appears to be in error.
Table 19-1 of the datasheet shows what are valid adc_clock sources vs PIC speeds.
I'm assuming you let some 'wizard' automatically configure it for you... well the 'wizard' is wrong. The only time 'internal' is used is when the PIC is asleep according to the Note (3) under the table.
While you won't see any ADC problems during 'simulation' or possibly 'ICD' operations, you will when the PIC operates in the Real World. |

Thanks for your good answer ... I'm not using that adc anymore it was for
other version of my program so it is not valid anymore...
BTW this works :
#fuses HS,NOLVP,WDT16,PUT
so it must be that WDT16 !
thank you

I found this useful : #fuses HS,NOLVP,WDT16,PUT
so it must be WDT16 it's working no fine |

| No. That's now turning it on in hardware at the time you want. Not the same thing. Means you can never turn it off, or change the interval. |
