M5stack and Blynk

Issues and Errors
1

I’m trying to get the M5Stack (based on ESP32) working with Blynk. I tried to compile a basic Blynk sketch and it’s not working.


#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial

#include <M5Stack.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp32.h>

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

// Your WiFi credentials.
char ssid[] = "my_ssid";
char pass[] = "my_ssid_password";

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

Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
}

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

Here are the errors from the Arduino IDE (v1.8.5)

Error compiling for board M5Stack-Core-ESP32.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

If I comment out #include <M5Stack.h> it will compile fine, but I don’t get to use any of the M5 functions like M5.Lcd.printf().

Any ideas on how to fix it?

I also tried the DH12 example from github and get similar errors.

Thanks!

M5Timer is conflicting with BlynkTimer… oh well I’ll have to ckeck what can be done :frowning:
You can omit the #include <M5Stack.h> for now…

After further digging for the error, I found the following which has the solution. It looks like you already opened the issue on github. I’ll post it on the m5stack community as well.

I modified the header file Arduino/libraries/M5Stack/src/utility/M5Timer.h as follows.

    //typedef std::function<void(void)> timer_callback;
    typedef void (*timer_callback)(void);
    typedef void (*timer_callback_p)(void *);

It now builds successfully and connects to the blynk cloud :slight_smile:
