4 years ago Ok - found it in a post somewhere: 2 things: 1) https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/README.md#installing-with-boards-manager --> install/update latest 8266 core first; I did have an outdated one + I still had the HTTP link instead of the HTTPS link in my preferences --> then install following guideline from Blynk then it all compiles without complaints
I honestly think this should be added for esp8266 users as an extra prep step. before they all jump into installing the blynk libs from github and start a pointless struggle.
Anyway - would be nice if someone was looking for a solution is now helped with this.
this one can be closed
searched already for 2 days on the internet; always it says problem solved but the simple blynk example using nodemcu (esp8266 12E) still is saying same thing: In file included from C:\Users\thuisgebruiker\Documents\Arduino\test\test.ino:39:0:
C:\Users\thuisgebruiker\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Blynk\src/BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h:18:21: fatal error: version.h: No such file or directory
include
yes I reinstalled latest arduino IDE and deleted all files left in sketchfolder yes I installed using the guidannce video copying manually the files in right folder yes it is indeeed the right folder - actually tried in IDE folder and in sketch folder - no difference
it is a windows install I am getting very frustrated that the advertising is saying 5 min setup and this simply never worked so far
include
include --> this line does not turn orange in IDE so never found by the IDE
are the github files - using latest version v0.6.0 - really ready to go or is there something I missed and all you experts are doing as an 'obvious' extra step ??
please help
