You can avoid this by soldering a capacitor somewhere between 2 pins but then you need a switch to disable it or you can't download new firmware. It is well described in the MyFocuser project. (Not the MyFocuser2, that is not Moonlite compatible)

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately this trick does not work for my Nano. See also:
playground.arduino.cc/Main/DisablingAutoResetOnSerialConnection
Tried both pull up rersistor and a capacitor on the reset pin.

I hope to be able to set up a few devices on Ekos this weekend.

Regards,
Albert
