Arduino Uno R4 Wifi + Blynk Edgent

Solved
1

I am trying to get the new Arduino Uno R4 Wifi linked to a blynk project.

In the past, I have used ESP32’s with the blynk Edgent_ESP32 example code to get started and added my Template ID and Template Name and flashed it and it worked.

How do I get that far with the new Arduino Uno R4 Wifi?

Thanks for the help.

There are no plans to support Edgent for this board.
You can, however, use Blynk.NCP which is a special flavor of Edgent for Dual-MCU boards, which is compatible with UNO R4 WiFi:

Hi,
Just wanting to clarify before I commit to reflashing this.

  1. Will the R4 WiFi still work for all the normal Arduino projects my students might be doing?
  2. If not, what does or doesn’t work after a reflash?
  3. If it does all work the same, but have the ability to connect via Blynk, is there any other downside or side effects I need to worry about with this, or plan ahead for with students working on many types of projects going forward?

Thanks!
