Hi,
I am attempting to get the example sketch ‘ESP8266_Standalone’ to turn on an LED on a breadboard but fail to connect to the Blynk server. I have ONLY replaced auth, ssid and pass in the example sketch. I get to ‘Connecting to cloud.blynk.cc:8442’ which then continually repeats. I never get to the Ready ping.
Serial monitor output:
Connecting to CEREBRO_GUEST

Debugging Attempts:
-
I was able to confirm my blynk app and pin mappings are correct by successfully running the project via USB with the Arduino_Serial_USB example sketch to blink a LED on the WeMos D1 Mini.
-
Below is the json from http://blynk-cloud.com/TOKEN/project except I replaced the token with XXXX
{“id”:829300136,“name”:“esptest”,“createdAt”:1486117613,“updatedAt”:1486168590908,“widgets”:[{“type”:“BUTTON”,“id”:1372967620,“x”:2,“y”:2,“color”:-308477697,“width”:2,“height”:2,“tabId”:0,“deviceId”:0,“pinType”:“DIGITAL”,“pin”:4,“pwmMode”:true,“rangeMappingOn”:false,“min”:0,“max”:1,“value”:“1”,“pushMode”:false,“onLabel”:“ON”,“offLabel”:“OFF”}],“devices”:[{“id”:0,“name”:“esptest”,“boardType”:“ESP8266”,“token”:“XXXX”,“connectionType”:“WI_FI”,“status”:“OFFLINE”,“disconnectTime”:1486166875086,“lastLoggedIP”:“24.7.47.73”}],“boardType”:“ESP8266”,“theme”:“Blynk”,“keepScreenOn”:false,“isAppConnectedOn”:false,“isShared”:false,“isActive”:false,“hardwareInfo”:{“version”:“0.4.4”,“boardType”:“Arduino”,“connectionType”:“Stream”,“buildDate”:“Feb 3 2017 14:28:01”,“heartbeatInterval”:10}}
There is a lastLoggedIP because I was successful with the same project using a Serial USB connection.
- I check my router which had security set to ‘WPA2-PSK-AES’ but I also tested ‘WPA-PSK-TKIP+WPA2-PSK-AES’ and ‘None’ security. No difference.
I even tried connecting via my cellphone hotspot. No difference.
- I upgraded
- Arduino 1.6.12 to 1.8.1
- Blynk libraries from 0.4.3 to 0.4.4
- iOS 10.2 to 10.2.1 (don’t think it matters since project worked via USB instead of wifi)
- I am able to telnet to blynk server and get the following…
MELUK-MAC:~ MELUK$ telnet blynk-cloud.com 8442
Trying 45.55.96.146…
Connected to blynk-cloud.com.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
Connection closed by foreign host.

I have tried refreshing a new token. No change.

I have tried creating a new project. No change.

Help?? I had Blynk working in the past without issue and I was planning to introduce Blynk to a bunch of kids I’m teaching IoT to in middle school this coming week.
