When you paste code, it should be formatted and in a code window. Please type cpp <paste code>
I use ESP8266 as a newbie and so do many on this forum. Wifi is a lot easier to use than serial/ethernet etc. I was apprehensive when I got my board. I’m not a coder or a hardware guy. I got by soon. So, no need to worry.
When you do get started with your ESP8266, I may be able to help you.
Shouldn’t it work with any type of pin? I have changed to V13 and is still not connecting.
The project is still Offline on the Blynk App, how can I make it online? I have done everything and not sure why the app is it not connecting to the Arduino. Is there any problem with the app?
The widgets in your app still aren’t set-up correctly.
When I look at the project on the server using this link: http://blynk-cloud.com/f497be401e0e4e03952e72f83b038790/project
it shows that you have a button widget set-up on V13, a slider on D9 and a step widget on D10. Your code is supposed to be writing data to a Terminal widget on V13.
I don’t think that this is what’s causing your connection problem, but I’m not a Mac user so can’t help there I’m afraid.
You should really go back and edit your initial post and pic three back-ticks and CPP at the start of your code and three back-ticks at the end so that it’s formatted correctly so that it’s more legible.
