9 years ago Hmmm. This one isn't great.
I kind of think we need a way to do a hard reset. This board seems to lock all the friggin time. Maybe if we add a GPIO for the CH_PD pin to the constructor. Then if there is a need to do a hard reset we can just change the ch_pd to LOW, add a delay, then set it to HIGH. It'll need a 3.3v level shifter for that to work. I'm not even certain if cycling ch_pd really does a hard reset.

This could be useful method by itself. You had it in the restart method. Similar to the kick() method, except it just keeps waiting. Every once in a while my board just seems to lock up, it would be nice if we could make it auto-reset itself. I haven't gotten that far yet. :-)
bool ESP8266::waitForStable(void) { unsigned long start = millis(); while (millis() - start < 3000) { if (eAT()) { delay(1500); /* Waiting for stable */ return true; } delay(100); } }
