Arduino: Disable auto-reset ########################### To disable the automatic reset of the Arduino board upon serial connection, just stick a **120 Ohm resistor** between the ``RESET`` and ``+5V`` pins. This is especially useful when the running application is expected to communicate over serial port, and thus you don't want a reset each time a connection is made. In order to be able to upload your sketches again, simply unplug the resistor during the upload, or follow this procedure: 1. Keep pressed the ``S1`` switch on the arduino board 2. Click upload / use the usual command to upload the firmware image 3. Once you see the ``RX`` LED blinking, release the ``S1`` switch.
