The DTR pass-thru should work. What size cap are you using?
Is the cap between the DTR and reset or do you have two caps in series (like
the other reset cap?) Do you have access to an oscilloscope to check the reset line?
dorbot-boston has been MIA for a little while. Post a message on the google group if
you want to get together. I am usually at MIT a couple days a week so I can usually
get together in Cambridge around 6:30-7:00PM.
