Getting started with Blynk and the WiPy
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Blynk provides iOS and Android apps to control any hardware over the Internet
|
|
or directly using Bluetooth. You can easily build graphic interfaces for all
|
|
your projects by simply dragging and dropping widgets, right on your smartphone.
|
|
|
|
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/vshymanskyy/blynk-library-python/blob/master/BlynkLib.py>`_ and put it in ``/flash/lib/`` via FTP.
|
|
2. Get the `Blynk example for WiPy <https://github.com/vshymanskyy/blynk-library-python/blob/master/examples/hardware/PyCom_WiPy.py>`_, edit the network settings, and afterwards
|
|
upload it to ``/flash/`` 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('sync_virtual.py')
