3D Printing: Wanhao i3 PLUS restarts when connecting USB


The Question: I just received my Wanhao Duplicator i3 PLUS. Everything prints and functions
fine via SD card and the display but when connecting to my Mac computer the
printer seems to restart.
 * Baud Rate: 115200
 * Serial Port: /dev/tty.wchusbserial1420
Any ideas what it could be?

I don't know that printer. But Arduino has a feature that a USB connection
causes a reset. The Idea is that this helps when doing software update as the
Arduino Boot loader will be active for one second after that reset.
This can be disabled, but needs hardware modification.
