ESP32 vs C.H.I.P. Microcontroller/processor

I guess I was hoping for a bit more of a tutorial :stuck_out_tongue:

However, after much Gargling (that’s the sound you start making after hours/days of searching/reading/testing/rejecting Google posts), I was able to install Java to C.H.I.P using this site’s directions:

Then install Blynk, after adding ā€œā€“no-check-certificateā€:

wget --no-check-certificate "https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-server/releases/download/v0.20.1/server-0.20.1.jar"

And modding the directory to match C.H.I.P for the run command:

java -jar server-0.20.1.jar -dataFolder /home/chip/Blynk

THEN… manually!! typing in the auth code to my Arduino Ethernet test code - repeatedly - until I got it right :stuck_out_tongue: (I guess the email auth code function from Android does not work when using own server???).

And… it works!!.. sort of… my test servo control is still erratic and jumpy (I had thought it might have been the ping, which was one reason for the local server).

Also, I am unable to access the Administration Panel UI from my PC, just says no connection… (And yes, correct IP, and I am assuming, correct port for me - https://10.10.3.201:7443/admin) Any helpful ideas on this?

But at least I now have Blynk on my Android, controlling an Arduino (ethernet) via a local server, running wireless on a headless C.H.I.P. :smiley:

And I think I learned a thing or two… that I now have a love/hate relationship with all things Linux :heart_eyes: :rage:

Hope this helps the next crazy C.H.I.P.er who wants to set up a server on it.
