PIC24EP512GP806 - restart_cause() clear cause without reboot

Hi guys,

How does the internal restart cause get cleared other than by rebooting the MCU?

I can read it using <restart_cause()> but how do I reset it? Or can it even be done?

Thanks!

When you read it, the bits in the RCON register are reset by the read.
Some others are affected by things that program things that can cause
a restart. This is why reading should always be near the start of the main
or bits can get changed.

Thanks! Do you sleep sometimes, TTelmah? ah! ah!

That's what I figured - that I had to read it - but just thought I'd check. I was able to get the code to do what I wanted.

Thanks and have a nice week-end!
