I have two questions that I was hoping someone could clarify with a quick True/False. When using the ATtiny85/85/2313 the reset pin is connected to a 10k resistor which is connected to VCC.

When programming with an AVR 6 pin programmer does the reset pin on an ATtiny at that point need to be connected to the 10k resistor to VCC?
-
When using an Arduino Uno to program an ATtiny, the reset pin on the attiny is connected to D10. Does the reset pin additionally also need to be connected to a 10k resistor to VCC?
Or to summarize does the reset pin on an ATtiny84/85/2313 always need to be connected to a 10k resistor to VCC?
Best Answer
Yes, always connect the Reset Pin of the ATtiny to VCC through a 10k resistor. It can't hurt, and it can help (prevent your device from resetting randomly).
