#89929 I was debugging one device that I designed for a whole day because it kept crashing in AP mode with random crash dumps, sometimes without any dump, just watchdog reset. First I thought it was the sketch but it worked on a different device. And it turns out, the issue was 10k pullup on EN pin. When I replaced it with a 0ohm resistor, it works.

I was under impression 10k is well enough for the EN pin and the datasheet also just mentions to pull it high. NodeMCU for example uses 12k pullup (it uses ESP-12 module though) in the schematic so maybe it's just ESP8285 specific issue. I stand corrected and maybe this helps someone.

#89948 The EN input on a esp8266EX is very high impedance and even a pull up resistance of several 100K is sufficient to activate it.

I would be surprised if the esp8285 is any different although I have not used one of those.

Are you sure your 10K was OK and connected OK?
