Help! getting this error trying to use edgent with esp8266

HI guys,

Not touched Blynk for 2 years, but now I need to update and old app to blynk2.0 . It used a wemos D1 mini and updated over wifi. So, I am now trying to get to grips with edgent for 8266 but not getting very far. I get this error when trying to use the basic edgent_ESP8266 example sketch

That’s a good place to start. What ESP8266 core version do you currently have installed? (Tools > Board > Boards Manager).

Pete.

Hi Pete,

The latest release is 3.1.2
You may be using the wrong boards manager json link if that’s the latest available. More info here…
