• It's pin 1. Check out: http://www.espruino.com/EspruinoESP8266#pinout

    Pin 1 is D1 - which is USART1_TX. That's the pin that's used by Espruino to output the REPL.

    So if you write to it, it stops Espruino being able to print anything to the REPL any more. It's still working, it's just not printing anything.
