Should I pull RESn high?

Electronegativity

I keep getting a no propeller chip found on any serial port error.
The driver appears to be installed correctly since the propeller plug flashes blue when I use the F7 key to identify hardware.

Probing the board with a multimeter shows 3.3V in all the right places, but the RESn pin seems to be floating.

The manual says that the propeller boots on a low to high transition of RESn, so I suspect this might be the problem.

On the SX you have to pull MCLR up with a 5K -10K resistance.

Is this also true of RESn on the propeller?

This is a home made board so it is also possible that I did something wrong, but it is the second one that did the same thing so I am starting to wonder.

I wonder if this wire is hot...

It is generally not required. However, you must have proper decoupling capacitors on all power/ground pins on the prop and they all must be connected.

There are other things that can also cause this. Can you post a photo of your board?

/RST needs to be pulled up externally unless /BOE is connected to Vss.
