I've tried several different cables and I'm now running from an externally powered USB hub to make sure I've got enough juice going to the Espruino.
I've hooked up a USB-TTL directly to the ESP8266 so I can try and sniff things without having the Espruino log them, and something is definitely up:
and then I can also see the resets happen as well.
I tried looking through the schematics, but its not my strong suit. If I supply 3v3 to the board I'm guessing I have to unplug the usb beforehand otherwise I let out the magic smoke?
Also do you have a capacitor between VCC and GND on the ESP8266? I can't see one on the schematic but I might just be missing it.
