If I understand the reset correctly, the physical button resets it by bringing the RESET pin LOW. Is it possible to connect the reset pin to one of the digital IO pins and use a digitalWrite(connect_to_reset_pin, LOW) ?
This will work but I would diode-or the output. I would configure the pin
as an output right before the digitalWrite command rather than in the setup
although it should not matter with the diode.
