ESP8266 Community Forum

- Fri Apr 17, 2015 8:51 am #14815 I am using ESP03 because it's the smallest ESP8266 module with antenna I could find.

I am having problems using it's reset pin, driving it from a host MCU. Based on the schematic here I connected a jumper at R2 but the XPD_DCDC (GPIO18) pin acts as an output at level high which makes it impossible to pull it down. I also tried to pull it down with a 1K resistor but the reset input still stays high.

The diagram shows a small 'X' on the XPD_DCDC but I couldn't find a place where the trace can be disconnected.



Any idea how to use make the RESET pin usable?

I also tried the ESP01 and the RESET pin works out of the box, but the module is slightly larger than the ESP03.

But the goal is to have access to EXT_RSTB by closing R2_NC like Mikewen mentionned, so here is the picture I've sent months ago ...
