I finally got my Arduino Nano to work with an ESP8266 HardSerial and blynk. My question is, if in this configuration the ESP8266 is transparent so that I can define Hardware as Nano in the project settings and assign Digital and Analog Pins to the widgets as supposed to Virtual pins. Thanks
Yes in this configuration ESP is transparent. You should select Nano to be able to control digitan and analog.
BUT virtual pins are board-independent.
