Hello, few days ago I bought a SparkFun Blynk board and I decided to try programming it with the Arduino IDE but it gives me this error:

Arduino: 1.6.9 (Windows 10), Board: "SparkFun Blynk Board, 80 MHz, Serial, 115200, 4M (1M SPIFFS)"

Board sparkfunBlynk (platform esp8266, package esp8266) is unknown

Error compiling for board SparkFun Blynk Board.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Hi all,

I am having the same problem as described by PowerBot. Has anyone solevd this issue?

Arduino: 1.6.9 (Windows 10), Board:“SparkFun Blynk Board, 80 MHz, Serial, 115200, 4M (1M SPIFFS)”
Board sparkfunBlynk (platform esp8266, package esp8266) is unknown
Fout bij het compileren van board SparkFun Blynk Board
This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
option enabled in File → Preferences.

Thanks a lot! It has probably to do with loading the correct board and libraries, but I just don’t know which. I have installed the versions as suggested in the Sparkfun Tutorial for the Blynk Board.

Regards,

Ton.
