Good afternoon,
i am trying and failing very hard to connect an arduino MEGA with an integrated ESP8266 module to Blynk.
Here is a link to my Arduino with additional description:
https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-MEGA-2560-With-WiFi-Built-in-ESP8266/
I have tried everything, but most of the videos are not in english. I have very little experience with ESP modules in general. I thought it would work with Blynk, but I don't know exactly what to insert in the example code generator. If I set the micro switches to CH340+MEGA2560+ESP8266 and switch to Arduino MEGA with serial communication in Blynk, I can see in the Serial Monitor that it is working. But when I try to select Adruino Mega with ESP8266 shield in Blynk (as far as I understand it the Arduino communicates with Rx and Tx with ESP) I can't upload the code because the two libraries are not installed but they are installed.
My goal is to be able to control the Arduino with 4-5 buttons on the smartphone and to display 1 analog value of the Arduino on the smartphone. With the buttons I want to program inputs in the program like with digital inputs, e.g. to control an LED with an if-function in which one of the buttons on the smartphone works as start condition
for help I would be much obliged
kind regards
