Using a CP2103 to program an ATMEGA328-PU

[revolt_randy]

I see. I haven't had any luck with holding down the reset button and releasing it as you described.

@Grumpy_Mike

This chip doesn’t handle the CTS ( or another hand shaking signal I forget which) signal correctly. This is used to reset the Arduino and put it into boot mode. This is not happening.

I was not aware of this. Should I be looking at using the CP2102 instead?

Thanks for your help!
