I have an Arduino Pro 5v and now have the bluetooth gold mate connected to it via the FTDI pins. I need to find an example that using the RST reset pin and CTS-I low power functionality. However, is this the only extra features of the Arduino Pro 5v board?
Does anyone have an example of the RST reset pin and CTS-I low power functionality pin used in a project?

I did a little Googlin' and I believe the "low power" mode is a function of the Bluetooth module, not the Arduino.

That's true but the RST pin is also on the FDTI header. The CTS-I low power pin would connect to GND on the FDTI header as well. Your right though. I should have directed my question to the BT hardware.
RST resets the FTDI chip.
CTS is clear to send, usually held low on the Arduino side.
What is it you're trying to do?
RTS is Request to Send, this is used to create a Reset pulse to the microcontroller.
CTS output back to the FTDI chip in response - it is connected to Gnd so the FTDI chip is always clear to send in data.
just trying to understand better. i'm not using this in a project right now. thx!
