Hi all…!!!
I’m almost done with my project using Blynk… I love it… Is amazing…!!!
I want to take a step forward now, add tzapu wifimanager to avoid ssid, pass and token hardcoded.
Where I can find a template or terrible simple example how to implement wifimanager ???
I’m working with a NodeMCU if that info is needed.
Thanks…!
Javier.
I have never used it myself, but I recommend you start by searching this forum for all the other references to that code…
https://community.blynk.cc/search?q=tzapu%20wifimanager
I believe that Blynk as made it’s own method called WiFi provisioning… again another thing I haven’t ever needed to learn much about 
but you might want to search for it as well
Thanks Zodiac…!
But I can’t see the Blynk usage in that example… and how to input the token there…?
Maybe I still have “concept” gaps about the whole Blynk environment… I’m almost sure of that…
In a different topic, for example, I’m not clear about how to publish, if I need a different token for each device, and so on… I have many “holes” in the Blynk idea…
Maybe I’m still in the RTFM stage… 
P.S.: I’m surprised I can’t find a simple “.ino” with ONLY the connection logic, with Wifimanager and Blynk…
I used the Autoconnect example code. Just put Blynk.config(Auth); Directly after WiFi.autoConnect line in setup. Then Blynk.run() in main loop like normal.
Thanks Amorphous…!
I will follow that advice too…
What about asking the token in wifimanager ? or there is another way ?
I need a token for each device, right ?
Great, Gunner… just read your answer (missed it before)… 
I will search fot that…!!!
You should not expect out of the box solution without reading or learning anything, at least not here. I’m using tzapu’s wifi manager combined with other code and Blynk, and I got it on Github, at the same address from link I have posted. There’s a lot of examples for various scenarios so use them, it’s simple. If you don’t know how to use examples and you don’t want to learn, then wifi manager is not for you.
hahahaha… I know, I know… just looking for a “clean” example…
There are many commands and combinations and looking to basic examples helps to the learning curve.
I have many years in IT (I’m an antiquity, +38 years in the business, and still kicking), designing big systems and programming in a lot of languages… but I’m a rookie in the arduino and apps world… 
Thanks again for pointing me to the right direction…!!! 
This is an active and helpful community…!!!
I believe there is a way of inputting the Auth code in wifi manager. I haven’t tried that method yet so I couldn’t comment.
Would you believe if I told you that there is wifi manager Blynk optimized code posted in this community?
yeah… I saw some screenshoots, but still can’t find a simple example… 
Sure… i can believe that… but can’t find it… 
I was seeking the suggestet by @Gunner , the “WiFi provisioning” by Blynk in the MyPlant example… looks “promising” for my quest…
Still at work, I wiil take a deeper look later…!
I like others, have spent hours looking for it, but find results of sketches with other complex stuff in them and I don’t know what parts I need and what parts I don’t need. If such exists, could someone please point me to a simple example that:
has wifimanager auto connect feature, and also gets the Blink Auth code? Thanks so much.
I know for a fact it is out there. I posted it.
Hi. Thanks so much!!! At first it didn’t work, but I uncommented the two lines
//wifiManager.resetSettings();
//SPIFFS.format();
And ran that sketch once and then commented them out again, and it worked! wifi manger worked, and also my blynk auth code, and blynk connected!
thanks again.
This seems like such an important thing, it should be somewhere on the headings page.
Cheers
Oh NO! All of a sudden my Wemos D1 Pro Mini stopped working. I was adding in some lines in my code to save settings to EEPROM, I added lines like this:
void factoryReset() {
Serial.println(F(“Resetting EEPROM to factory settings”));
s.aggKp = 8;
s.aggKi = 0.2;
s.aggKd = 1;
s.consKp = 2;
s.consKi = 0.1;
s.consKd = .5;
EEPROM.put(0, s);
}
And I noticed it wasn’t saving the values when I powered down the unit, so I searched a little more and found this command in setup()
EEPROM.begin(512);
(I’ve never had to use that with an UNO)
but right after this change, my wemos ESP8266 quit working. So I went back and tried this basic wifimanager sketch, and it doesn’t work either. But it was working. I turned my router off, and after a bit the Wemos would go into access point mode and I could put in my ssid, etc. But now this very code that worked won’t work anymore.
I tried uncommenting the lines
//wifiManager.resetSettings();
//SPIFFS.format();
and under the Arduino IDE /Tools/Erase Flash/ I’ve chosen just the sketch, sketch and wifi, and erase all. Nothing seems to make it work again. So I tried rebooting my Mac, and loading it on the 2nd Wemos I have, and now it won’t connect either. !
Is there something simple I’m missing?
I’m using Arduino 1.8.5, and all the libraries in the manager are updated.
this is my code that used to work.
and this is as far as the Serial monitor goes:
load 0x4010f000, len 1384, room 16
tail 8
chksum 0x2d
csum 0x2d

I just loaded the sketch to the same type of board, and it works as it should.
