[WRITE VIRTUAL PIN EXAMPLE] ========================================================================

Environment prepare:
In your Blynk App project:
  - add "Slider" widget,
  - bind it to Virtual Pin V4,
  - set values range 0-255
  - add "LED" widget and assign Virtual Pin V4 to it
  - Run the App (green triangle in the upper right corner).
  - define your auth token for current example and run it


This started program will periodically call and execute event handler "write_virtual_pin_handler".
In app you can move slider that will cause LED brightness change and will send virtual write event
to current running example. Handler will print pin number and it's updated value.
