Preventing reset on serial monitor connect?

arduino, arduino-ide, serial-port

Solution

For the Uno, connect a 10μF capacitor between the reset and ground pins.

For other Arduinos, a 120 Ohm resistor (or equivalent resistance made up of multiple resistors, since 120 Ohms is quite rare on its own) between the 5V and Reset pins should do the trick.

Problem

Is there a way of preventing the reset when starting the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE?
