That looks better but you are missing the first 2 digits from the front of the token.
Does the sketch have the correct token or is it just SM / Blynk that is losing the first 2 digits?
OK I will see if I can spot anything in the WiFiLink.h library.
You are sooooooooooooo close.
Can’t see anything and thinking about it your WiFi looks fine. Will see if there is anything in BlynkSimpleStream.h that is causing the anomaly.
@vshymanskyy ignore my last PM, @Emmanuel_Leroy has hacked the libraries and it’s now connecting.
@Emmanuel_Leroy please post the library hack and a final sketch here and perhaps edit the first sketch in this thread to include the final sketch.
Be sure to remove any tokens etc but it would be nice to see your final Serial Monitor (less tokens).
Did you have to flash firmware 1.0.0 before you started working with Blynk? I downloaded the firmware last night but if it’s required please post a link.
Finally It’s a great news !
I just adapt the BlynkSimpleWifi.h sketch in a BlynkSimpleWifiLink.h and put in the src folder of Blynk library

Hi dear,
i have tried to follow your procedure,
but what is the correct espRecovery sketch?
is this:
/*
* EspRecovery.ino
*
* This example works as a serial bridge between microntroller and wifi module
* (esp8266). It's very useful when upload firmware updates to the wifi module.
* It must be used only on boards where the connection between micontroller and
* wifi module is over serial, not spi.
*
* Note: this is a port of EspRecovery of the Arduino Uno WiFi Dev Ed Library.
*
* Circuit:
* - Arduino STAR OTTO or Uno WiFi Developer Edition
*
* Modified 15 March 2017 by Andrea Cannistrá and Sergio Tomasello

}
How can install your firmware 1.0.0? by the normal procedure i have not your version choice, and i can not upload it.
kind regards
Niki
hey, sorry for the delay, i’m in vacation.
Be sure you’re doing all command line with Administrator rigth.
Step 1 install Python
Step 2 install the Wifilink Library in arduino
Step 3 only this way
Burn the firmware using EspRecoveryThis procedure is reccomended for all Operating System and it is usable only via Serial.
- First you must upload the EspRecovery sketch on your Arduino UNO WiFi:
- Plug in the Arduino UNO WiFi to PC.
- Open the Arduino.org IDE, you can download it here.
- Select the correspondent port and board.
- Upload the ESPRecovery sketch from File>Examples>Arduino UNO WiFI> Tools menu of Arduino IDE:
- Enter the board in bootloader mode:
- Unplug the Arduino UNO WiFi.
- Plug again the board to PC pressing the ESP B/L button.
- Open your terminal as Administrator.
- Download the ESPtool, you can download from here or you can use the command:
sudo pip install esptool
orpip install esptoolin windows
- Test the esptool, for example, inserting the below command to read the MAC address:
- python esptool.py -p your port -b baudrate read_mac
- Set the baudrate at 9600.
For linux user, for example, the port will be /dev/ttyACM0:
sudo python esptool.py -p /dev/ttyACM0 -b 9600 read_mac_
> For Mac user, for example, the port will be /dev/tty.usbmodem1411:
sudo python esptool.py -p /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 -b 9600 read_mac
For Windows user:
esptool.py -p COM30 -b 9600 read_mac
- If it will appear on terminal your MAC, then continue the procedure:
Connecting…
MAC: 18:fe:34:10:e2:85
> 7) Use this command to write the firmware but PAY ATTENTION to set the correct path and insert your correspondent port:
sudo python esptool.py -p /dev/ttyACM0 -b 9600 write_flash -ff 80m -fm qio -fs 32m 0x00000 20151223/boot_v1.4.bin_rep 0x1000 20151223/user1.bin 0x3FC000 20151223/esp_init_data_default.bin_rep 0x3FE000 20151223/blank.bin
For Windows user:
for example in case that the tools is in \Users\XXXX\Desktop\esptool\esptool\ folder and the COM is 30:
esptool.py -p COM30 -b 9600 write_flash -ff 80m -fm qio -fs 32m 0x00000 Windows example:
C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Arduino\tools\ArduinoFirmwareWiFiLink\UnoWiFi\tool\bin\esptool-windows -p COM4: -b 9600 write_flash -ff 80m -fm qio -fs 32m 0x000000 C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Arduino\tools\ArduinoFirmwareWiFiLink\ArduinoFirmwareWiFiLink-UNO_WIFI_DEV_ED-1.0.0.bin 0x300000 C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\Arduino\tools\ArduinoFirmwareWiFiLink\ArduinoFirmwareWiFiLink-WEB_PANEL-1.0.0.bin
8) Wait some minutes that the process ends.

Thank you for your explanation. I have no experience with MacOSX but its the only computer I have for now, so I have this problem:
I installed Python, I open terminal, I download EspTool over PIP but when I try to run its, it doesn’t find it. I get this error:
Gonzalos-MacBook-Pro:~ espagnol01$ sudo python esptool.py -p /dev/cu.usbmodem1441 -b 9600 read_mac
python: can't open file 'esptool.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
But if I do sudo esptool.py -h I get this:

So I know its a silly/noob problem like im in the wrong directory or something but I would really appreciate your help. Thank you very much for your time.
I fix it. I had to use for example:
sudo esptool.py -p /dev/cu.usbmodem1441 -b 9600 read_mac
instead of:
sudo python esptool.py -p /dev/cu.usbmodem1441 -b 9600 read_mac
I don´t know if its a version syntax related issue or what. Im a noob but it worked. Thanks!

I manage to to all this and to update the firmware to the latest one (20161121). But now im having problems to set up the Blynk app. With hardware should I use? Thanks.
@espagnol01 I don’t have this hardware but as it’s an Uno (with an ESP shield) then you should select Uno in Blynk.
I have one quick question. When I run this command; “sudo esptool.py -p /dev/tty.usbmodem1441 -b 9600 read_mac”
I got this output:

Is this correct? Im I doing something wrong? If it hard reset itself, it means I have to disconnect and connect again in b/l pressing the button to run the next command? Thanks for your time.
This is the output after all:

This it look ok? Thank you for your time.’
Edit: After the flashing I can’t upload any sketch to the board. I only get:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00
Any solution?
Looks ok, you asked to see the MAC and it gave you the MAC.
What does b/l mean?
