I discovered Blynk last week.

Blynk

Create an app for any connected project or product based on Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266 and other hardware

I saw it could work with Adafruit CC3000 breakout board… and WiDo is working with this library. So lets test it !

• Grab a WiDo
• Add the proper libraries
  • CC3000  from Adafruit
  • Blynk library & app
• Connect 3 leds to the WiDo on pin 11, 12 and 13 (but any other pin will do !).
• Download this sketch
• Rename config.h.sample into config.h and customize the values depending on your environment
• Upload  on the WiDo (don’t forget to specify the proper board : it’s a Leonardo clone)

And that’s it !

You’ll notice the code is rather simple : almost all the magic happens in Blynk.run() whicg updates the led status when you press a button on Blynk App and a bit in Blynk.virtualWrite() which sends a value on virtual pin 1 and is used to blink a virtual led.
