This is my first time using blynk and all I want todo is use a virtual button to control a physical led however blynk works fine with the button and in the serial monitor the button displays either 1 or 0 however when I add the led and put the line “pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);” it stops connecting to the app. I know its this as when I take out that line of code it works perfectly.
Hardware and software
• Arduino UNO with ESP8266
• IOS
/*************************************************************
Download latest Blynk library here:
https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/releases/latest
Blynk is a platform with iOS and Android apps to control
Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes over the Internet.
You can easily build graphic interfaces for all your
projects by simply dragging and dropping widgets.

*************************************************************
You’ll need:
- Blynk App (download from AppStore or Google Play)
- ESP8266 board
- Decide how to connect to Blynk
(USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)
There is a bunch of great example sketches included to show you how to get
started. Think of them as LEGO bricks and combine them as you wish.
For example, take the Ethernet Shield sketch and combine it with the
Servo example, or choose a USB sketch and add a code from SendData
example.
