Just to rule out confusion with the different Wemos boards
Theres are 3 Wemos D1 Mini boards. Original, Lite and Pro.

Wemos D1 Mini is a breakout board for an ESP8266 module, which is soldered onto place, with 4GB flash and CH340G.
Wemos D1 Mini Lite is a dev board with a ESP8285 chip, with 1GB flash and CH340G
Wemos D1 Mini Pro is a dev board with a ESP8266 chip, with 16GB flash and CP2104
Only the Lite uses the ESP8285 chip, and with it's 1MB flash, a bit of a squeeze to fit MicroPython.
The original board's module used to be Wemos branded, now has an AI Thinker ESP-12S on the metal cover
Weemos Mini Lite works well but hard resets when entering REPL
Re: Weemos Mini Pro works well but hard resets when entering REPL
Thanks, yes it is a mini-lite, my mistake.
I have corrected the thread title.

Re: Weemos Mini Lite works well but hard resets when entering REPL
I have just received and tested the Mini-Pro and it does not have this problem, so it looks like this is limited to the Mini LITE.
It may be caused by the CH340G USB > Serial device, but can't say for sure.

The D1 Mini is widely used and going by the post from @mcauser it uses the same chip.devnull wrote:...It may be caused by the CH340G USB > Serial device, but can't say for sure...

Indeed, it does, and with that Wemos D1 mini and Mac OS X I've seen a 200 µs reset pulse when starting screen or picocom, whcih did NOT reset the device.
I've seen not such a reset pulse with a Huzzah feather and the CP2104 driver.

Re: Weemos Mini Lite works well but hard resets when entering REPL
It is the Mini-Lite that I am referring to, that has an 8285 and a CH340G, this is the one that does a hard reset whenever you connect via serial.
The Mini-Pro which I just received has an 8266 and a CP2104 and thgs device does not do a hard reset when connecting via serial and behaves same as ESP12.
