Reset Huzzah from software

[dhovden]

Building an app which uses the MySQL connector to send various measured data to a MySQL database. Works well but at times the MySQL connection goes away and refuses to return, the only way to get it back is a hard reset.

Now, I would like to detect this in software and issue a reset from the code. This is what I'm using now:

void soft_reset() {
pinMode(0,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(0,1);
pinMode(2,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(2,1);

ESP.restart();
}

But it doesn't work, at least not completely. The Huzzah stops, sends some weird characters to the serial monitor but that's it: no restart.

Setting GPIO0 and 2 high, read that at https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/793, not sure if it's correct.
Anyway, does anyone know a way to reset the Huzzah from code that actually works?
