#48396 I created a new design using the FT231XS chip that has RTS and DTR pins to allow me to program an ESP8266-01 module without holding down a button and powering it up. The two NPN transistors used in other designs should take care of things.

Right now in the Arduino IDE things look fine.
-power is going where it should
-the FTDI com port appears
-programming leds blink for a second but the sketch will not upload

Can someone take a look at the attached schematic to see if anything obvious was left out? I'll poke around with the oscilloscope over the next few days to find the problem.
