Hi, I want to turn my ESP8266 off to save power.
When I try to pulling the CH_PIN pin high with digitalWrite(B9,1) it doesn't power up and I see Uncaught No 'ready' after AT+RST.
I tried using a timeout to give it some time to boot up and also tried pulsing the reset pin.
Also it seems my ESP8266 board has the CH_PD pin hardwired to Vcc via a 1k resistor. If I connect the CH_PD pin to GND, it powers down and if I connect it to the Picos 3.3v pin or leave it dangling it powers up.
