    I have a weird problem with a sensebender micro.
    Loaded the standard sensebender sketch and all works fine.
    Then I added a switch between 3.3V and D3 and initialized this with:
    setup()
    ...
    pinMode(MOTION_PIN, INPUT);
    digitalWrite(MOTION_PIN, HIGH);
    ...

    Now comes the weird part:
    Whenever I press the D3 button, the sketch restarts. No matter if I sleep with interrupt or without etc.
    If the serial console is NOT attached, it looks like the sketch continue to run.

    I would assume some power issue, but for this test the board is powered over the USB-serial converter with 3.3V and everything else is working with or without opening the serial monitor in the Arduino Application.

    Any idea what I am doing wrong?

    According to this thread (https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1573/my-generic-room-senser-sensebender-with-motion-and-light) I have tried to put a 25k resistor between D3 and ground, but without difference.

      @t3chie Shot in the dark, but you're not accidently shorting Vcc and Gnd by pressing the switch?

        @Yveaux Thanks for that - I checked my cabling again and discovered a "hairline connection" between D3 and DTR. It is working better now.

          You mean the issue has been solved?
