Badgy does not reset after flashing via USB about badgy HOT 5 CLOSED

I can confirm that after downgrading from version 2.5.1 to version 2.4.2 I'm now seeing autoreset working as expected. I had to change my sketch though because I was using SSL certificate fingerprints which 2.4.2's WiFiClientSecure doesn't seem to support yet.

Hi @LastFuture ,

Badgy uses the two transistor circuit for autoreset using the DTR/RTS lines. You can select 'nodemcu' for 'Reset Method' and it should perform the reset after upload.

If that is not working either, you can check the green PCB in the back to see if there are any issues with the DTR/RTS connection spots.

The power switch also serves as reset, but ideally it should work through the autoreset mechanism.

I have noticed with version 2.5.0+ version of the ESP8266 board driver the reset doesn't work any more. Either using the ESP8266 Boards or NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Moldule)

I couldn't make a difference using the software options alone and after setting the board to NodeMCU 1.0 the reset option disappeared altogether. Neither with the "Reset Method" set to nodemcu nor with the board set to NodeMCU 1.0 does Badgy reset after an upload.

The soldering on the connection spots looks fine. I have no oscilloscope but I was able to check for continuity and the tops of the DTR/RTS pads connect to the top and bottom 10k resistors respectively that are directly right of the green PCB (as parts of the two transistor circuit you mentioned I assume).

Closing as this issue relates to the ESP8266 Arduino library, adding a note to the troubleshooting guide.
