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. – Gerben Jun 30 '16 at 15:46

But how specifically do I reset it? – pulsar100 Jun 30 '16 at 16:17

1there are lots of different esp8266 boards, and several kinds of modules. Which one in particular? – JayEye Jul 1 '16 at 4:06

also, are you asking how to do it under program control? – JayEye Jul 1 '16 at 4:06

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 :)
