Blynk RTC example code not compile

Issues and Errors
1

I tried to use the RTC widget and RTC example sketch from:
https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/blob/master/examples/Widgets/RTC/RTC.ino.
I didnt change anything on the example sketch except the wifi configuration. When I hit the compile button on the arduino, it showed the error and highlighted the row “BLYNK_ATTACH_WIDGET(rtc, V5);”

Arduino: 1.6.10 (Windows 7), Board: “Generic ESP8266 Module, 80 MHz, 40MHz, DIO, 115200, 1M (512K SPIFFS), ck, Disabled, None”

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Anyone have any idea about this error, all other Blynk widget sketch such as Terminal widget run perfectly.
My Arduino IDE version is 1.6.10
My Blynk library version is 0.3.8
Thanks

complies fine for me but i am using 1.6.9 IDE.

3

Yeah, I updated to 1.6.10 about 2 days ago and because I never tried the Blynk RTC before so I do not sure is it the Arduino version problem?

4

im just dl 1.6.10 now so will check it again for you in a few mins…

Thanks for letting us know we shouldn’t move to 1.6.10 @Dave1829

7

So something wrong with 1.6.10 version :slight_smile:

8

Any updates on RTC with IDE 1.6.10 yet guys?

I’m bump to the same issue on

BLYNK_ATTACH_WIDGET(rtc, V5);

and currently doesn’t have any experience to revert back to IDE 1.6.9 … :slight_smile:

You could try 1.6.11 or roll back to 1.6.9.

10

just DL the 1.6.9 and install it!

http://arduino.cc/download_handler.php?f=/arduino-1.6.9-windows.exe

DONE!

I can confirm that using 1.6.9 fixes this problem on the Mac as well.

The latest 1.8.x does not work.
