AVR-Chat

I once had a situation where I did not get a predictable POR because of the various paths from connected pins.  Of course, you can't always avoid all of those.

..and what about the rest of the pins? Draw a box with as many
I/O pins as the chip you are using has. Then draw 2 diodes, one to
the ground pin and one to the VCC pin just like they show in the
datasheet.

Then you can follow the current paths in and out of the chip.
