Missing Arduino MEGA pins in datastream setup

[gotoswell]

Hi folks, I’m trying to migrate my Arduino Mega to Blynk2.0
However in the Datastream template only PIN 0-13, and A0-A4 are available for set up.

I’ve selected Arduino in my template setup and tried a few others… but no luck. (There isn’t a way to distinct from Uno vs Mega) Does anyone know what can I do to make the Arduino Mega pins show up in the datastream?

Thank you!

The way that digital pins has been implemented in Blynk IoT is crazy.
Read this for my take on the issue…

Can't read Digital & Analog By ESP32S board

@Dmitriy can you explain how the analog and digital datastreams are meant to work for various hardware types? If I choose ESP8266 in the web console I see 5 analog pins available numbered A0-A4. I also see pins numbered 0-14 which I assume represent the digital pins. The ESP8266 has one analog pin, A0. If I choose digital pins for the ESP8266 I see 14 pins, numbered 0-13. The ESP8266 has the following GPIOs: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14 & 15. If I choose ESP32 then I see the same analog pin…

You’d be far better using virtual pins…

Using Virtual Pins to control physical devices

I thought I’d write a guide about how to use virtual pins with app widgets such as buttons, to control physical devices such as relays, LEDs etc… Why use virtual pins anyway? I’d always recommend using virtual pins over physical pins when developing your code. There are a number of reasons, but here are what I consider to be the main ones: Virtual pins are hardware independent. This means that it’s far easier to port your code from one hardware platform to another in future (when you realise…

Thank Pete, yeah Virtual pins workaround sounds legit and probably should be a best practice going forward … going to dive into this now thank you! (the missing pins was driving me nuts at least i know I’m not crazy.
