Hi there all,
after a bit of playing around I did the 10uF cap across the reset and gnd pin, it does work but it is a bad/messy way to have the micro start from hard, therefore my question.
Question surely some one has or could obtain the code with-in the ATMEGA16U2-MU, reason why, this has the rest pin already interconnected and surely there would be enough room to put the 'reset' cold on power up.
It would just have to wait for the power to be connected as this CPU goes live almost instantly it would have to make sure the USB is not going to program but that would not look to be a problem, and say 500 mSplus the reset pin low to reset the main CPU.
If I could get the code with-in the first CPU I would 'hack' it and flash it, otherwise would have to program up a small atmel to do the reset pull down.
Surely someone has or could obtain or talk to the people handling the boards to reflash the new code?
I can not really see it being hard.
Cheers all
Paul
