How do I reset an ESP8266 with an FTDI and no reset button? I assume that it has something to do with the reset pin on the ESP8266, but I cannot find a step-by-step usage of the pin online.

  • There is both a "reset" and a "program" pin on the ESP8266. You need both to reprogram it. Commented Jun 30, 2016 at 15:46
  • But how specifically do I reset it? Commented Jun 30, 2016 at 16:17

Pull the reset pin up by connecting it to 3.3v with a 10k ohm resistor, then to reset the ESP you temporarily ground the pin, bringing it down to 0v/GND. I'd recommend putting in a button for that :)
