Quick question about RES / DTR on a ProtoBoard

I'm going to write a configuration program for my quadrotor, and I want to use serial communication through the PropPlug to do it. I know that there's an issue with the serial object tripping the reset through the FTDI chip. Does this affect ONLY boards with the FTDI chip on board (ie ProtoBoard USB, PropStick USB, etc) or will it also affect the generic ProtoBoard?

Thanks,
Jason

    Jason, it is only a problem if the propplug is attached to the prop chip and not plugged in (powered) to the pcs usb. Provided the serial lines p30 & p31 (actually p30 is the culprit because it powers the ft232 chip) is disconnected there is no problem.

    Thanks, Cluso - I suspected this was the case, but I wanted to be sure. The last thing I want is a Prop resetting in mid-flight. :-)
