Using Blynk 0.4.6
Arduino IDE 1.8.1
Arduino Uno R3 w ESP8266-01 firmware 1.5.4 (AiThinker_ESP8266_DIO_8M_8M_20160615_V1.5.4.bin)
Hello,
I’d like some more control over testing if the wifi connection has dropped and/or Blynk server connection has dropped.
I’ve read this forum topic to get started.
The problem I am having is: Blynk.config(auth); is throwing error: no matching function for call to 'BlynkWifi::config(char [33])'
Relevant code snippets:
#include <ESP8266_Lib.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleShieldEsp8266.h>
#include "WiFiEsp.h"
char auth[] = "<my 33 char token value>";
Blynk.config(auth);
I see the code does have this function call with this signature…so what else could be the problem?
void config(const char* auth,
const char* domain = BLYNK_DEFAULT_DOMAIN,
uint16_t port = BLYNK_DEFAULT_PORT)
{
Base::begin(auth);
this->conn.begin(domain, port);
}
Full Code:
/*
WiFiEsp example: ConnectWPA
This example connects to an encrypted WiFi network using an ESP8266 module.
Then it prints the MAC address of the WiFi shield, the IP address obtained
and other network details.

and the OP hasn’t been around since.
