[SOLVED] Can a Particle Photon act as Blynk Server?

I would like to set up a portable wifi environment including a Blynk Server to use while traveling to develop projects. Trying to set up my own wifi on a hotel system is a pain and not working on a couple of routers I have tried. Can the Photon be configured as a Blynk Server ? If not what do you recommend as a small unit to perform this function? If it needs to be a Raspberry Pi, or something else, what parts do I need ?

No.

Pi Zero W at $10 with built in WiFi is fine for a Blynk server.

Thanks ! Will give it a try. Appreciate the assistance

i think you need something like this:

I see multiple ways to configure the raspberry pi zero w as a local Blynk Server, which one is the latest and easiest to implement?

Latest will always be on Blynk’s Help Center / GitHub, easiest is the same as always as there is only one way (with a few advanced customisations) that I am aware of.
