I love the project ,Is there anyway you can add links to the required libraries and sdks used here, or links to ones that will work the same? I tried for hours searching for the versions you quoted and get links all over the place to other versions etc
I plan on using it to control relays for my solar projects control box
It should be easy if you just intall the Blynk library and flash your ESP with the AT firmware (I believe that comes default if you order one, btw, so should be super simple).
The current version of Blynk will do very nicely for this. I’m planning on making a strip myself, but I still need to get separate relays instead of 8 on one board.
i just used DHT library for DHT-11 sensor , and of course Blynk library.
if you Are doing similar project i suggest using ESP-12 standalone as it’s more stable and has more Pins
to play with.
also you should use latest blynk library (V3.1) and ESP8266/Arduino (V 2.0) for more stable results.
I’m trying to implement this project as it described here.
Unfortunately with no success. The biggest problem is compiling the code. I got
a million errors whatever library version I tried.
Can you expand in detail versions of libraries you used to.
Libraries changes and probably your code are not actual. I do not understand
how Blynk library can be v3.0 if I see only v0.3.7 in Github? Did you mean
0.3.0?
i think the ESP_hardware serials is not avilable any more in Blynk library , i will check how can it compiles again with the latest library and post it
Any hints on what those changes were? I downloaded all the libraries from github and now I get:
Arduino: 1.8.1 (Linux), Board: "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, ATmega168 (5V, 16 MHz)"

After the 2 & 1/2 years since this topic was posted many little things change… as is normal with many libraries.
You best way to troubleshoot old code is to compare with current basic Blynk examples and see what changes there are, and switch them one at a time until it works.
For example, I can at least compile the original code with these two changes…
Use #include <ESP8266_Lib.h> instead of #include <ESP8266.h>
and ESP8266 wifi(&EspSerial); instead of ESP8266 wifi(EspSerial);
There may be other subtle changes needed as well… Try and see.
Thanks for sharing and excited to see the rest of the project.
