Step 9Reset Button
**this step is optional -- you can leave the reset pin connected to +5v with the resistor, and your board will work perfecty**
For the reset button I am using a momentary push-button switch connected to GND. The kind I recommend has 4 legs, however there are only two you need to be concerned with. Using your multimeter check to see which pairs are redundant (meaning always connected, share the same line). When you press the button, both pairs get bridged, and GND is shared with pin 1, the reset pin, thus resetting the board.
Look at the rollovers to understand what i mean.
