Is there a command for the arduino IDE...

By the way guys, thank you so much for this. I'm creating all sorts of stuff, that node would just not let me do! Thanks for all the hard work!

There's also a function in the SDK, system_restart.
You can call it like this:

Code: Select allextern "C" {
#include "user_interface.h"
}

// somewhere later in the code...
system_restart();

Can I disable this and reset the WDT manually from the user code (in loop()), so the module will restart when the user code hangs?
