I've ordered one and have been notified it shipped and to expect delivery in about a month. I'll see whether there's a simple way to add auto reset. Do you have a recommended value for the capacitor? Is this the DTR Only Reset Mode or Wifio Reset Mode?

I couldn't get it to work on an ESP-12E with 0.1uF but it did work with 0.33uF and 1.0uF. The diode I used was a BAT42 Schottky.

It is DTR Only, circuit shown in the attached image. The resistor on RESET wasn't used as there was already a 12K resistor on the ESP-12E. I had to add the one on GPIO0, 10K is what I used.

While clever, this auto-reset mode has the disadvantage that both DTR and RTS are required. That's less of an issue in this case since the USB interface is included on the board.
