Arduino Board Health Monitoring

[Thinker_007]

Has anyone made a vi for labview to monitor the Arduino board health?  I know there is the standard error tracking, I was looking for something that monitors at a lower level, possibly board voltages or temperatures, etc, I am not even sure what all is possible to monitor but I would bet there is something we can be looking at to predict system health and stability.

Any ideas here?

You may be able to use a watchdog timer - http://tushev.org/articles/electronics/48-arduino-and-watchdog-timer

And then poll this from a VI (or run the reset() function from a VI.

That is quite vague, you need to clearly define "health."  What temperatures?  What voltages?  It entirely depends on the specific hardware and it's capabilities.  I know some chips have internal temperature sensors but not all.  Even on Arduino, not all the functions of the microprocessor are accessible, afaik.

Hi there,

the Arduino is capable of some fancy voltage Measurements. Look here for more Information:

Maybe this is helpful for some aspects of your "health"-monitoring project.

Best regards,
