Arduino resets itself constantly

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Hey guys,
I’m a little new to arduino’s and was following this electronoobs tutorial on making a remote controller using nrf24l01 modules and arduino nano’s.

While the test codes worked fine before I soldered the entire circuit with joysticks and everything, using the same test code I’m now getting a short between the RST and the GND pin when arduino is connected onto the circuit board. There is no physical short which the multimeter confirmed.
When arduino and circuit board are not connected together, individually do not short on those pins.
I am assuming that this short is causing the arduino to constantly reset itself because when i press the physical reset button on the nano it does nothing not even the little light flicker.

Here’s the link to the tutorial I’ve been following: Arduino radio controller DIY NRF24

Then check your board, soldering, wiring. Not really anything we can do.

Thanks for your reply.
I checked the board multiple times but if it was a board issue then the short should also happen when arduino is not connected right?

Maybe you put the Nano in the wrong way around?

Just a thought.

Thanks for the response.
Had put it the right way. Tried putting it the wrong way in to see if the pins short and to my surprise they did not short. Only when put the right way in those two pins short and cause it to reset.
