boarduino ftdi cable I think i broke it it doen't reset useing the arduino software.
I am running ubuntu linux in sudo su mode.
I pump the reset and it works.
The cable may have been powered by a 9v source to the 5v regultor with the jumper in the wrong place and the cable backwards.

Has anyone else damaged the circuit this way their is a 2009 arduino maby I will snag one of them to see what went wrong...

does it work at all? if you gave it 9V then ya it could easily have been cooked

just auto reset seems not to work but the cap has been shorted through trouble shooting so that may have damaged the reset but pumping the reset button still works the software reset is the prob. but not a large one.

could it have something to do with the 3v cable? I agree the cable could be broken I did short the cap that was a nono in adafruits page. I was wondering if anyone had trouble with the software reset using the 3v cable.

[adafruit]

no

Hm, I've got the 3.3V cable too. I don't remember if software reset worked with the adaboot thingy as I reflashed it with the standard bootloader (just to test the usbtiny) quite some time ago. I've always had to press reset by hand with this one (I think...erm).
I could test it on friday.
