Hello. I am trying to add one more thing to the Costas great example of “noBlynkBlock”
Basically exactly what he did for us, with the ability to enter AP mode on request (pin)
So… i took Costas sketch and also wifi.manager (by tzapu). At this point, the sketch is doing what Costas did, and when you put pin 0 to ground you have wifiManager AP page (192.168.4.1) so you can enter new wifi/pass credentials. Everything works just perfect.
Then i was trying to move forward with Tzapu example of adding custom parameters to wifi.manager so i can also enter the token on that config page. While this works just fine in his examples of the library, i cannot make it work with the Costas code. 
Can someone please help me integrate the SPIFFS part of the tzapu wifi.manager into this code?
No matter how much i’ve tried i end up with 2 possibilities:
- Costas code gets messed up
- The token field appears on the page, i can enter my token, hit save, but my sketch will never connect to blynk server anymore although wifi stays connected.
This is the current sketch which works perfect, except that it has the token “hard coded”.
THANK YOU!
