~~[quote=Timothy post_id=166 time=1487946522 user_id=79]~~ Hello,

Is it possible to reset the Arduino via software in such a way that the Arduino thinks it's being powered on for the first time?

I Googled before coming to the forums and found this:

http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1235780325/all

But, the thread is a couple years old, and I don't have enough technical knowledge to understand whether doing it this way is safe to use. Any advice?

[code]
void(* resetFunc) (void) = 0; //declare reset function @ address 0
...
resetFunc();  //call reset[/code]

[/quote] Search within the forum instead. This was discussed here within the last few weeks.
I think PaulS, Awol, or Nick Gammon had the solution.
Read the data sheet too - power on reset, hardware reset, software reset, not all do quite the same thing; but may end up doing what you need.
