Example sketch can't compile

I recently downloaded Blynk and am simply trying to establish a connection between my board (Arduino UNO) and the app. I’m trying the Arduino_Serial_USB example sketch but can’t for the life of me get it to compile. I’ve tried reinstalling the libraries and my Arduino IDE. I’m including the code and error message, any help is appreciated.

Error compiling for board Arduino Uno.

You’ve omitted some vital information from your post:

Add details :
• Hardware model + communication type. For example: Arduino UNO with Ethernet Shield
• Smartphone OS (iOS or Android) + version
• Blynk server or local server
• Blynk Library version

You also need to make it clear if you are using the original version of Blynk, or the new Blynk.360 and Blynk.Edgent version.

Hardware model is Arduino UNO with USB connection.
App is android version 2.27.29
Blynk library is the release version 1.0.0
Blynk server.

This information was originally omitted as i don’t believe it relates to the problem of the example sketch not compiling.

Downgrade to version 0.6.1 and try again.

This worked, thank you.

A classic case of “you don’t know what you don’t know”.
Always best to provide ALL of the information requested, as a bare minimum.

A post was split to a new topic: Need help migrating project to Blynk.Edgent

Hi Pete, your answer solved my problem. I just created an account to thank you and to ask you if possible to explain what the problem is with the library latest version .

Thanks Again!

Thanks!

There isn’t a problem with the latest version of the library, it’s just that it’s designed to work with the latest version of Blynk, and the OP (and I assume yourself) is using the legacy version of Blynk.
