Reset Push Button (SW9)

The RESET push button resets all of the ICs on the board. One exception is the USB interface chip. The chip is not being reset when the push button is pressed after the USB cable has been plugged in and communication with the PC has been initialized correctly. After USB communication has been initialized, the only way to reset the USB chip is by powering down the board.
