Reset Transistor: Soldering/Coding advice

Projects General Guidance

I have tried adding a reset of pin 54 (on the mega) like this

const int reset = 54;
void setup()
{
  pinMode(reset, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(reset, LOW);
}

void loop()
{
   if (analogRead(xpin) > 589 ||analogRead(xpin) < 433||analogRead(ypin) > 589 ||analogRead(ypin) < 433  )
  {
   Play();  
   while(0);    
  }
else
  {
  #if defined(__AVR_ATmega1280__)|| defined(__AVR_ATmega2560__)
   // If play/stop button is pressed during boot, enter recording.
   
   {
        delay(20);
        while(0 == PSKey);
	delay(20);
        Record();
        delay(3000);
        digitalWrite(reset, HIGH);
        delay(5000);
   }
  #endif
  }}

Into here as displayed

#include <avr/io.h>
#include "config.h"
#include "filesys.h"
#include "player.h"
#include "vs10xx.h"
#include "record.h"
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

const int groundpin = 66;             // analog input pin 4 -- ground
const int powerpin = 67;              // analog input pin 5 -- voltage
const int xpin = A11;                  // x-axis of the accelerometer
const int ypin = A10;                  // y-axis od the accelerometer
const int reset = 54;

SoftwareSerial mySerial(2, 3);//pin2-Rx,pin3-Tx(note: pin3 is actually later used as volume down input(not needed))

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  //Serial.println("Hello test!");
  
  // Provide ground and power by using the analog inputs as normal
  // digital pins.  This makes it possible to directly connect the
  // breakout board to the Arduino.
  pinMode(groundpin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(powerpin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(reset, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(groundpin, LOW); 
  digitalWrite(powerpin, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(reset, LOW);
  
  InitSPI();

  InitIOForVs10xx();

  InitIOForKeys();
  
  InitIOForLEDs();

  InitFileSystem();

  //VsSineTest();

  Mp3Reset();
}



void loop()

{ 
    // print the sensor values:
  Serial.print(analogRead(xpin));
  // print a tab between values:
  Serial.print("\t");
  Serial.print(analogRead(ypin));
  // print a tab between values:
  Serial.print("\t");
  Serial.println();
  
  /*
Set X&Y axis to light up an LED if the accelerometer tips past 30 degrees in any direction from flat.
|| means 'as well as'
< and > mean greater or less than
*/  

// If the bottle tips past 30 degrees on the X or Y axis, record. If not, Playback.
   if (analogRead(xpin) > 589 ||analogRead(xpin) < 433||analogRead(ypin) > 589 ||analogRead(ypin) < 433  )
  {
   Play();  
   while(0);    
  }
else
  {
  #if defined(__AVR_ATmega1280__)|| defined(__AVR_ATmega2560__)
   // If play/stop button is pressed during boot, enter recording.
   
   {
        delay(20);
        while(0 == PSKey);
	delay(20);
        Record();
        delay(3000);
        digitalWrite(reset, HIGH);
        delay(5000);
   }
  #endif
  }
}

but it doesn't seem to do anything.
