I am trying to program an ATMega32u4 microcontroller through arduino IDE. I have added external oscillator(16Mhz) and capacitors and few other connections according to the Schematic. I had put a sparkfun bootloader onto it(caterina) using Avr Pocket Programmer. A usb 2.0 is connected to the microcontroller. Arduino IDE recognizes microcontroller as Arduino Leonardo with the help of this usb. Bootloader file.

I was able to upload codes into the microcontroller but the issue is, I have to put the reset pin to ground momentarily each time when the IDE goes to uploading stage. If i do not reset it, the COM Port for leonardo disappears but it never comes back until I reset it manually and therefore the uploading bar just gets stuck. I have also added the circuit connected to the Reset Pin according to the schematic but even if i remove all of it and just connect a switch, no difference can be observed. No power on reset is working.

Since one can upload codes without having to manually reset each time in Arduino Leonardo, I was wondering what could be the issue here.

Is there a way to auto reset this? Or perhaps fix the auto reset issue in this case? enter image description here

    How is what done on the leonardo? I'm sorry, I didn't get your question. Commented Jul 25, 2019 at 11:37
  • did you look at the Leonardo schematic? Commented Jul 25, 2019 at 16:22

    Yes, I did. Also rigged the circuit connected to the reset pin but it doesn't seem to be working. Any idea what could be wrong? Commented Jul 26, 2019 at 6:54

    Yes, I did try that and it works. However, I would need to do that while uploading the code quickly, else the code won't upload. Again, it's not exactly an automated thing. Commented Jul 30, 2019 at 12:21
