knuckles:
on this link it shows the reset to reset connected with a cap in between and no mention of DTR CTS etcwhy is that different ??
Simply a misprint on that site's pin out of the 6 pin FTDI pin out, where it says RST it should say RTS. Either the RTS or the DTR signal can be used to generate the auto reset pulse, as the arduino IDE uses both.
