Can we use Blynk with the ESP8266?

Post by dnhkng » Mon Jun 20, 2016 1:50 pm

I see that the WiPy blynk library imports the WiPy module (https://github.com/wipy/wipy/blob/maste ... lynkLib.py) so it wont work directly on an ESP8266, and I haven't found any code that uses the ESP8266 with Blynk.

So, has anyone gotten this working? I have a few projects that could use blynk on android to make nice GUI apps.

Has anyone tried to port the blynk library from wipy to esp? I'm also interested in using blynk for some projects.
If there is a Wemos D1 mini configuration file in the app "only" the python part on the esp must be implemented, right?

The `wipy` module is only used used in `blynk.py` to switch of the WiPy heartbeat LED if it conflicts with a hardware pin used with blynk. You can safely remove the import and lines 144 and 145.

The other parts of the code seem to be written with compatibility with other boards in mind, but I haven't tried it on any yet.

I have converted it to be used with esp8266, and just tested and it also works on my wipy-wroom ( https://github.com/pacmac/micropython-s ... wypy-wroom ) port as well.

However I have only really tested the basics and are able to connect, to send and receive instructions, but have not fully tested everything yet, and have not tested pwm or adc at all.

You need to enter your hash into the blynkhash.py file and place it somewhere in the system path.
