Need some help with my sketch on my mega based PLduino. I used this sketch on a mega with ethernet shield and it loaded just fine and ran on the cayenne dashboard very well, better than my Rpi3. Now I have commented out the ethernet library and included the wifi library available in blynk. The mfr states the wifi is an esp8266 but actually just an esp-02 and that’s just one subject to deal with but now I get ‘cayenne’ was not declared in this scope. I did change 2 other things concerning cayenne in and out by adding brackets which left me with this mess.
here’s my sketch,
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <WiFiServer.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>
/*
Cayenne Ethernet Example
This sketch connects to the Cayenne server using an Arduino Ethernet Shield W5100
and runs the main communication loop.
The Cayenne Library is required to run this sketch. If you have not already done so you can install it from the Arduino IDE Library Manager.
Steps:
1. Set the token variable to match the Arduino token from the Dashboard.
2. Compile and upload this sketch.
For Cayenne Dashboard widgets using digital or analog pins this sketch will automatically
send data on those pins to the Cayenne server. If the widgets use Virtual Pins, data
should be sent to those pins using virtualWrites. Examples for sending and receiving
Virtual Pin data are under the Basics folder.

my goodness…
what was the question?
An Esp-2 is the same family as Esp8266. If you peel the can off the Esp-2 chip, you’ll see a teeny Esp8266 inside. All the Esp family (Esp1, Esp2, Esp7, Esp12, Esp32 are all based on the Esp8266 chip.
As far as I know.
The different Esp chips are just different GPIO configurations available for the Esp8266, and perhaps integrated bluetooth radios.
I get my kicks with the Esp12-e because it has 4 usable GPIO pins, an analog-in pin, and an SPI bus.
Plus- if the chips gets any smaller (Esp32!), I wouldn’t be able to see and solder it.
The last I heard, the ESP family was not yet supported, so…
I’ll help where I can.
I’m still trying to make my MCP3208 (A/D converter) work with my Esp12-e and Cayenne.
So I slapped your code into my IDE to see if I could make it compile. I think I have it there. There is just a warning about re-defining VIRTUAL_PIN that you may want to resolve, since when it’s defined a 2nd time its going to overwrite whatever you where up to the 1st time.
You can compare this to above to see everything that I changed, I’m struggling with the whole list but off the top of my head:
cleaned up some brackets around your CAYENNE_IN statements that were confusing the compiler
changed some of the #include statements at the top of the file
Cayenne.begin() was missing ssid and password parameters, so I added those
Not 100% if this is going to do exactly what you’re looking for without further tweaking, but it at least compiles now!
#include "CayenneWiFi.h"
#include "CayenneWiFiClient.h"
#include "WiFiServer.h"
#include "WiFiUdp.h"

@rsiegel gotta sketch here that I have implemented the built in lcd to give an error if I assume it cannot connect. I unplugged my other mega from the internet and used the same token but no luck. Did a search for a new board adding the new token to the sketch and uploaded but it’s not finding the board. The lcd shows esp02 error 3 times then goes to a white screen.
Is there a way to get the ip address from this board so I can check the dhcp client list to see if it’s connected?
for whatever reason I cannot copy paste my sketch here, some items are missing. I’ll try github repo and give you the link
I would try building the connectivity part of your sketch around the ESP8266 Cayenne connection example posted in this thread
As far as checking the IP on this board, I’m not sure. @kreggly do you think this example sketch from the Arduino site will behave on ESP? I’m not sure what its doing when it looks for the presence of a shield.
sorry to pester so much but that sketch, second one, gives me an error.

It shouldn’t work at all. Follow the instructions in the post I linked above. I’m hoping that will get you connected to Cayenne, then you can add your bits.
Using the above sketch and following an older post I get the gist better.
So I moved some library files around because the sketch compiler couldn’t find (another lesson learned) The serial monitor shows (519) connecting to free (1530) failed to disable echo (5001( state 0, tconn 0 (20021) failure to connect.
I don’t think I have a good connection to the esp because AT commands don’t receive a response.
I’m pretty sure that they are using the ESP only as a WiFi-to-serial device (like a hat) to establish network communication with a WiFi network. If this is true, then you should be able to talk to the ESP via it’s own serial com Tx and Rx. You wouldn’t be able to use the PLduino RS232 via WiFi until the ESP makes the handshake.
See what happens when you try issuing AT commands with this sketch:
char serialBuf[128];
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial1.begin(115200);
Serial.println("Ready for commands:");
}
void loop()
{
Serial.readBytesUntil('\r',serialBuf,128); //gets command from console
Serial.println(serialBuf); //echo back to console (may not be needed)
Serial1.println(serialBuf); //send command to ESP
delay(500); //let it process
Serial1.readBytesUntil('\r',serialBuf,128); //gets readback from ESP
Serial.println(serialBuf); //dump readback to console
}
