  • Doh, how did I miss this... Let me give it a try. Commented Jun 20, 2016 at 12:35
  • The diode is correct. Please see this application note, its for ESD protection. atmel.com/Images/… Also the Arduino boards are using it. arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/Arduino_Uno_Rev3-schematic.pdf Commented Jun 20, 2016 at 12:38
  • @KarlKarlsom I know its ESD protection but why. Have you got it in a ESD prone environment. I would possibly choose a diode then with a larger pulse current for the ESD protection. Commented Jun 20, 2016 at 16:44

    sorry for the late reply and acceptance of your answer. I just now had the chance to test it! The missing reset connection solved the problem! However your suggestion using the UNO bootloader is not working. It says it burned the bootloader. But then I get a timeout when uploading a sketch. With Duemilanove selected as bootloader it is working! Commented Jul 3, 2016 at 11:01
