  • Many thanks for your help Gilhad. With regards to the reset, would connecting it through a resistor to ground solve the problem? Majenko (above) said it probably would not work without this. Commented Jan 5, 2017 at 19:52
  • No, that is a boost regulator. You want a buck regulator (step-down). They do some that look very similar to that one. Commented Jan 5, 2017 at 20:32
  • Yes, he was right (in some way) - depending of intended use the resistor can be onboard, or offboard or managed some other way (as output of some othe system, or programmed to be NOT reset, but I/O, for example). But fof simple generic Arduino board you should put there resistor and if you already send it to production, then just solder the resistor over the board - ugly but sure work.

  • With regards to the reset, would connecting it through a resistor to ground solve the problem? - no, /RESET needs a pull-up resistor. Something like 10k soldered from Reset to Vcc. Commented Aug 3, 2017 at 4:49
