Board does not boot with the Deep Sleep wake link enabled

The following code works fine on except that when changing to a Wemos D1 mini board, the deep sleep does not work as it used to with my NodeMCU

Previously I could have the system set up as per the schematic (i.e. with D0 and RSTshorted) and the board would power up. With the Wemos D1 mini I need to press the reset button once after power-up or I need to boot it without D0 connected to RST, connecting it after powering up.

What is different between the two boards with respect to Deep Sleep? Could I add some components in the D0 - RST link so that there is a second delay in the connection being formed?

Try a resistor 470R~510R between D0 and RST instead of shorting them.

Thanks :slight_smile: That was it.

Thanks Paul, this saved me loads of time
