Hello,
I'm working with the Arduino Diecimila for a school project. I'm using the USB connection to send data so that the controller can do something. I noticed that the board is resetting pretty often, I think one of the reasons is the USB. If I for example pull the USB cable out of my computer and then re-insert it the board resets. But this is something I don't want.
Is there a way to get rid of this functionality? Anybody else has experience that the board resets because of the USB connection?
No, seriously, I believe the Diecimila is designed to reset whenever a new serial connection is established, and this is what happens whenever you attach the cable. Most people like this feature because it allows them to upload sketches without having to hunt for a push that tiny reset switch. Read on arduino.cc about "autoreset". I think some HW guys could probably explain how to defeat that feature.
I searched for auto-reset and found a nice page where indeed everything is being explained nicely. I made a hyperlink to it for people that search for usb reset instead on auto-reset like me
