Help in the Code

Need Help With My Project
1

I have connected my project (Switch of a Light On/Off) with the ESP8266 Wifi Shield, but I am getting output as “WiFi shield not present” on the Serial Monitor. Please help. Code is as follows:

/* Comment this out to disable prints and save space */
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial


#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleWifi.h>

// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "auth_code";

// Your WiFi credentials.
// Set password to "" for open networks.
char ssid[] = "ssid";
char pass[] = "password";

void setup()
{
  // Debug console
  Serial.begin(9600);

  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
  // You can also specify server:
  //Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, "blynk-cloud.com", 8442);
  //Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, IPAddress(192,168,1,100), 8442);
}

void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
}

Please HELP…

Precisely what is this including a link if you have one?

I have Arduino UNO Board+ESP8266 Wifi Shield. I want to remote control LED connected on Digital pin number 7 using Blynk App over the Internet. I embedded the above code in Arduino UNO board, but LED is not working. I am not getting how to code for LED in this program. Moreover my Arduino UNO is not getting IP Address from the router also.
Please Help

From the info you have provided I would say you have the wrong sketch.

Take a look at this one but make the changes for Uno as it’s written for a Mega with multiple serial ports https://examples.blynk.cc/?board=Arduino%20Uno&shield=ESP8266%20WiFi%20Shield&example=GettingStarted%2FBlynkBlink

I have gone through the code mentioned at the link, What all changes will come for Arduino UNO Board ?

 *************************************************************
  WARNING!
    It's very tricky to get it working. Please read this article:
    http://help.blynk.cc/hardware-and-libraries/arduino/esp8266-with-at-firmware

  You’ll need:
   - Blynk App (download from AppStore or Google Play)
   - Arduino Uno 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.

  // You can inject your own code or combine it with other sketches.

Start with reading the comments and making the appropriate changes…

// Hardware Serial on Mega, Leonardo, Micro...
//#define EspSerial Serial1

// or Software Serial on Uno, Nano...
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial EspSerial(2, 3); // RX, TX (or use appropriate pins on the WiFi sheild if different)

But I would drop this to 9600 for SoftwareSerial

// Your ESP8266 baud rate:
#define ESP8266_BAUD 115200
