Hi is possible to add any autoreset feature?

I don\'t believe this is technically possible, at least not with the current bootloader, but likely not with any. You could of course have your program (thru an i/o pin) cut power to the board and then the pin would shut off allowing power back to it.

An option that should work: set the watchdog timer to the shortest time then while(1); to get it stuck. It should restart into the bootloader.

It\'s not possible, though you could make your program reboot in to the bootloader like ducky said. The digispark arduino software doesn\'t have any built in feature to send a \'please reboot\' command to already booted digisparks though.

I think it\'s better this way - unplugging and plugging back in is a nice clear way to specify which digispark it is you want the program to upload in to, if you have more than one on your computer (I have three already!!)
