Reset pin 16 might cause deep sleep issues

[aperepel]

Hi, I'm troubleshooting an issue with the esp12e not coming back from a deep sleep when wired with ssd1306 via i2c. I suspect now that this is due to the constructor argument setting it to pin 16. The problem is one has to connect GPIO16 (aka D0) to the RST pin for the board to come out of a deep sleep.

Right now it just flashes some leds and stays in a zombie state.

I frankly am not at this level yet to understand this SSD1306 requirement, is it something that can be changed? My i2c display has only gnd, vcc, scl & sda pins.

I have changed the constructor argument to use another free pin (D7 in my case), which had nothing wired to it. No adverse effect on the display and my deep sleep code started working now :) Would still like to understand what that argument is used for.
