You Reply: I'm not having a hard time uploading the sketch. The sketch uploads fine. I'm able to do things like blink the built-in led to confirm this. I have also connected a brighter LED to D2 and confirmed I can blink that from a sketch and tied a piezo wafer to D5 and run a tone() sketch to play notes out of it successfully. The problem comes in when I try to incorporate blynk with the code. I pair the bluno to the phone, go into blink, add a BLE widget and it won't connect. Thus the controls from blynk won't work for anything on the beetle.
I tried using regular bluetooth as well, and it will connect from blynk but then doesn't seem to control anything - not even directly turning on D2 with my LED on it.
