Getting started with Blynk and the WiPy
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Blynk is a platform with iOS and Android apps to control
|
|
Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes over the Internet.
|
|
You can easily build graphic interfaces for all your
|
|
projects by simply dragging and dropping widgets.
|
|
|
|
There are several examples available that work out-of-the-box with
|
|
the WiPy. Before anything else, make sure that your WiPy is running
|
|
the latest software, check :ref:`OTA How-To <wipy_firmware_upgrade>` for instructions.
|
|
|
|
1. Get the `Blynk library <https://github.com/wipy/wipy/blob/master/lib/blynk/BlynkLib.py>`_ and put it in ``/flash/lib/`` via FTP.
|
|
2. Get the `Blynk examples <https://github.com/wipy/wipy/tree/master/examples/blynk>`_, edit the network settings, and afterwards
|
|
upload them to ``/flash/lib/`` via FTP as well.
|
|
3. Follow the instructions on each example to setup the Blynk dashboard on your smartphone or tablet.
|
|
4. Give it a try, for instance::
|
|
|
|
>>> execfile('01_simple.py')
