Sending String to virtual pins

Solved

I thought sending Strings to virtual pins is possible, however when I use the following code:

Blynk.virtualWrite(V10, “NE”);

the code compiles well, but the Wemos crashes on this line. I got something on the serial monitor like:

Soft WDT reset

stack>>>

Am I doing something wrong?

Posting your whole sketch might help.

Is it in EXACTLY this format, because the quotation marks you’ve used are the wrong type, but I would have expected this to be picked-up as a compiler error.

What Blynk library version are you using?

It is exactly this format. I am using BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h, the Blynk version installed is 1.1.0. I used the double quotation marks, the same as I use with the Serial.println("…") command. Is that wrong? Which should I use then?

That’s right, but make sure that you are using the right one. You can try copy and paste. If that doesn’t work, post your whole sketch.

The symbol in your first post is this:

“

and in your post about Serial.println() is this:

"

The two are deferent. It I paste them side by side into Word and increase the font size you’ll see the difference…

You need the straight quotation marks (the second one in the image above).

Thank you for your help.
I don’t know why, but I tried using another Wemos and now it is working, so I think the Wemos was internally not all OK.
