- Wed Jun 08, 2016 9:27 am #48776 Hello I did a project where the ESP was planned to be used just as WiFi.

Since I ran into problems with blynk disconnects and also seem to run out of memory before my program is finished anyway I'm thinking about switching to ESP Standalone.

My Questions:

1) How stable is ESP Standalone with Blynk? (disconnects etc)

2) I need some EEprom to save calibration data in case of power outage and read there is none on the ESP. Is there a way to save variables for this case?

3) Do I need to flash specific Firmware before or will this be done as soon as I upload my sketch with the Arduino IDE?

- Click OK button.- Go to Tools - Boards - > Boards manager, in the Boards manager window select "contributed" from the TYPE drop - Select ESP8266 by ESP8266 community forum.
Press Install.
Before programming always remember to change board as ESP8266.

3. Also, I recommend adding the following libraries:

ESP8266 Arduino add-on by Sandeep mistry; follow instructions here https://github.com/sandeepmistry/esp8266-Arduino/b...
Add the blynk library https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library
If you do not know how to add library, go here https://www.arduino.cc/en/guide/libraries
I Hope This Will Helps you lot..
Thanks & Regards..
