Alpha Clock Five usually resets when the serial connection is opened; this is a side-effect of the auto-reset circuitry used for reprogramming the clock using the bootloader. If this is problematic and you expect to never update the firmware, you can disable auto-reset by removing capacitor C10 from the circuit board or by clipping the lead at pin RTS* on J2. Alternatively, if you wish to sync the time to your computer and do not have a Chronodot RTC present, you may wish to physically disconnect the interface cable from J2 after syncing the time, so that the clock does not reset when you open a subsequent connection. | Alpha Clock Five usually resets when the serial connection is opened; this is a side-effect of the auto-reset circuitry used for reprogramming the clock using the bootloader.
