Wemos D1 R2 & mini blinkcloud timeout

[harrypph]

I am trying to convert a blynk code from Bluetooth to Wemos D1 r2 & mini (wifi)
I believe everything should be working, no errors when uploading and in the serial monitor, upon startup it connects to the internet all fine. but after load up it keeps looping this phrase:
[506987] Connecting to blynk-cloud.com:80 [509048] Login timeout
Wifi scetch-

I can post the original Bluetooth code if someone wants me to.
any help is appreciated

@harrypph

BLYNK_WRITE(V1) {
int x = param[0].asInt();
int y = param[1].asInt();

// Do something with x and y
Serial.print("X = “);
Serial.print(x);
Serial.print(”; Y = ");
Serial.println(y);
}

Any reason this is smack in the middle of your pre-setup?

@harrypph

XY_TO_RUN_TURN_SPEEDS(); //X of the Joystick represent the turn speed and Y the RUN speed
PWMControl();// It controls the logic for the Motors H bridge

And these should not be in the void loop… as they are trying to run thousands of times a second. (And no, don’t bother with the “it worked on BT” as now you are dealing with a WiFi & server link).

Recommend using timers to call them instead.

but its still giving me the blynk cloud timeout

@harrypph

void loop()
{
Blynk.run(); // To Run Blynk
}

Well, you are missing timer.run(); so your timed function isn’t even running so there must be something else in your code causing a long enough delay to disconnect… at least I am guessing that is what is happening.

EDIT - nope… looks like you are not even connecting…

I suggest you play around with a simpler example on the Wemos D1, so as to get a better understanding of how it should work… including timers…

[harrypph]

I have been able to have it running with just the x,y joystick where it connected and gave the x,y reading on serial monitor just fine. im not sure why it starts to time out when i add the rest

Edit- seems like it starts to timeout when i add

  pinMode(INA,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(INB,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(INC,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(IND,OUTPUT);

[Gunner]

@harrypph

int INA=7;
int INB=8;
int ENA=5;

int INC=12;
int IND=4;
int ENB=9;

I see… the Wemos D1 doesn’t have some of these pins… (use the Arduino ones in BLUE)

And some of the pins have special purposes so you need to be careful which ones to use.

As stated in last post

Pin 3 is Serial RX

Pin 6 & 7 don’t exist (for coding purpose)

[harrypph]

Are there 6 pins that are actually useable?

[Gunner]

Look up… way up… to my post with the charts… that is what you have to work with.

[Gunner]

On the Motor Controller, I usually jumper the Enable pins or wire them in parallel for a single digital pin.

Blynk Joystick Controlled Tracked Rover with Wemos D1 Mini Pro

This is going to be a “work in progress” topic… mainly because I do things slowly, as clarity and energy allow, so if I wait until it is finished, well… we may be into a new millennium [image] I am using a Wemos D1 Mini Pro. I am using the Pro becasue it has an external antenna option… for better range, should I get adventurous. Right now I just have the Wemos mounted on a battery shield, sitting on the rover’s battery, and wired ONLY to the motor controller without PWM control. As …

[harrypph]

on your tracked rover code, the Wemos doesn’t seem to get past

Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, "10.10.3.13", 8442);

in the setup

[Gunner]

Don’t just copy/paste and expect code in older posts to work… there is always something changing in the Blynk world

Besides… that is MY Local Server internal IP, so not going to do you any good

[Gunner]

PS… in one of your last code posts, I see you are using SSL…

Don’t… the ESP8266 is not quite fast enough from what I understand and that will just add to connection instability.
