Modified terminal example

Projects made with Blynk

Modified the example sketch to have Blynk.virtualWrite() calls instead of terminal.***() calls. Maybe the site admin can include this in the examples sketch library. Have the older calls also commented and flagged as

  Blynk is a platform with iOS and Android apps to control
  Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes over the Internet.
  You can easily build graphic interfaces for all your
  projects by simply dragging and dropping widgets.

 *************************************************************

  You can send/receive any data using WidgetTerminal object.

  App project setup:
    Terminal widget attached to Virtual Pin V1

    Uses Blynk.virtualWrite calls instead of terminal.print calls
    More recent implementation and hopefully more stable thus.
