WiFi status led problem, can't compile

Solved

hello people, me again, I’m trying that the wifi status indicator of the wifimanager library is not the one that comes by default “BUILTIN_LED” I want to use another one that I already have in the code, and I can’t compile … "Was not declared in this scope "as I show in the images is well declared, can you help me?

There are quite a few good reasons why it’d best to have your variable declarations at the top of your sketch, and this is one of them.

Also, you’d be far better-off using a BlynkTimer rather than doing all of that millis comparison in your void loop.

Pete.

hello pet, if you are right! but the problem I am trying to solve now is because I cannot compile the code after changing from “BUILTIN_LED” to “indicator” … if “indicator” is well declared in the code…

4

So have you moved your declarations?

Pete.

5

:thinking:

you have to declare indicator at the top of your code as Peter said, and all your declaration to avoid same issue with other variables .

6

Thanks Pet did not understand well what you wanted to say to me for the translation! but if it was solved! It seems that when adding new code, the declarations were being left at the bottom without realizing it, when I moved the declarations I already let myself compile

7

Yes I already did and it worked, thanks for answering

Pet I’m going to read about BlynkTimer as you will see I am very very new to this … in the same way using those millisecond comparisons like this now, can it cause any failure …?

9

Read this:

Pete.

10

Pet is worried, I would not like the project to be disconnected because of that error, I follow the example of the link you sent me, I try to implement it but I get this error, surely the code is very badly written, can you help me?
Pet do you need another thread?

The part of the code that I need to exit the loop as you recommended, is what I use to know the connection status in shared applications, it turns on and off a flashing virtual led in the application as a status indicator

12

Exactly as the error message says.

Pete.

13

So put that in a function and call it it with a timer, and remove all of the millis comparison code.

Pete.

14

sorry but I still don’t understand I don’t understand where the error is

15

I already removed all the millisecond comparison code

16

You have a variable and a function with the same name. This isn’t allowed. Rename one of them.

Pete.

17

Pet Thanks to your help I was able to solve the problem I was able to leave the loop empty! and leave the virtual status led running with BlynkTimer
