Looking for easy IoT implementation, I found Blynk last week. It worked as expected on my Arduino Yun but I wanted to use it with the LaunchPad CC3200 from Texas Instruments.
So I followed the procedure and generated the files Adapters/BlynkCC3200.h, BlynkSimpleCC3200.h and boards_json/LaunchPad-CC3200.json. On my iPhone, I selected Generic Board and voilà, I can now blink my LEDs on the LaunchPad CC3200.
Could you please include the LaunchPad CC3200 in the official boards and give me access to the more elaborate widgets so I could proceed with extended tests?
The code should work also for the CC3100 WiFi radio. When the CC3200 combines an ARM Cortex-M4 with a WiFi radio, the CC3100 only includes the WiFi radio.
The CC3100 comes as a shield —called BoosterPack— for the boards —called LaunchPads— from Texas Instruments. Both the CC3100 and the CC3200 share the same WiFi libraries.
I only disagree that “…the list of supported boards is limited…”.
From our observations, Blynk might be the only solution who supports so many hardware options in one app.
I might add “…the list of supported boards is limited out-of-the-box with ready-to-use drivers…” but I emphasise that developing a driver for a new board is possible, as I did for the LaunchPad CC3200!
It’s totally up to you, it’s your review, we don’t want to you to change it
Just please change “Blink is the perfect solution for Internet of Thing on-the-go!” - should be “Blynk”
I like it a lot, actually!
It includes a LaunchPad CC3200, a Grove BoosterPack, and the following Grove modules: a BMP180 barometer and thermometer, a DHT hygrometer and thermometer, a PIR sensor and a relay.
Very cool! Thank you for sharing! May I ask you to add this to “Project made with Blynk” category? We will also post it to Facebook and other channels.
BTW, it would be awesome, to have a video or photo of the whole setup live. See if you can do it.
Thanks for supporting us and writing such nice tutorials.
Also regarding “Connection to the server from the Blynk application not as easy as expected”. Could you please give some steps or video. I tried few times and was able without any problems create account on local server.
