After changing to proper serial (i.e. not Serial-Over-USB), we no longer have the DTR pin broken out. This means the MCU no longer resets when an experiment starts and thus needs to be reset manually.

This could be done using one of two approaches.

Signal reset from commander

Send over a ResetController packet which resets the MCU

Send DTR reset via USB connection

Since we still have the USB connection in place, we can use that to reset the MCU. This would be more reliable, but requires two serial connections which is not desirable.
