Arduino manual reset

Projects General Guidance

Can I use any arduino pin other than reset pin to manually reset my arduino mega? I have accidentally burnt my reset pin and want to use some other pin to externally and manually reset my arduino. Is there such option?

A photo of your Arduino that clearly shows the damage would be a big help.

Yeah there's also a way to Reset Arduino Programmatically. Use the below function:

resetFunc();

It will reset your Arduino without using RESET Pin.

Use the below function:

exit status 1
'resetFunc' was not declared in this scope

Trouble is, if the reset pin is truly non-functional, then how do you program the board?

You can disconnect power to reset the Arduino.
