Who's willing to try Blynk with GSM modules?

[vshymanskyy]

The examples were updated:

Blynk Library for Arduino v0.4.2 is released

In this release Improved SIM900 compatibility Improved SIM800/SIM900 examples Improved BLE examples: fixed need to remove SPI.h in some cases Added direct links to libraries in Library Manager Updated TinyGSM library to v0.1.4 Travis CI updated Grab the latest version here: https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/releases/latest And don’t forget to give us a star on github ___ __ __ / _ )/ /_ _____ / /__ / _ / / // / _ \/ '_/ /____/_/\_, /_//_/_/\_\ …

Thank you @vshymanskyy and @marvin7 for the support. I will check these changes and apply them.

Hello,

is possible to compile BLYNKCLIENT (example for SIM800/900) on ESP8266. Im trying this, but compiler send Error.

BR Greg

[vshymanskyy]

Yes, it should be possible - let me check if it works…

[vshymanskyy]

@GsmKey - why, it built without problems for me.

[GsmKey]

OK, tnx to try.

Arduino sent this error:

BlynkClient:68: error: no matching function for call to ‘BlynkSIM::begin(char [14], TinyGsm&, char [4], char [8], char [9])’

I use original example without any changes.

[GsmKey]

Sorry,
my mistake. Im download latest library and compile without error.

@vshymanskyy, did you read my message in message box (regarding the +CREG “bug”)?
Also, can you think about implementing return value of signal quality? (+CSQ) If not constantly (by means of unsolicited results +CSQN) then perhaps by calling AT+CSQ right before/after registering to network (+CREG). I’m not having any trouble currently, but it will be good to know CSQ return in unknown locations.

Hello.
Arduino compile without error.
Esp8266 esp12 after upload firmware just cycling at one second …
Any suggestion?

[vshymanskyy]

Ok, I see the problem - it will be fixed soon.
@energokom , Can you please send your full sketch to me?

[GsmKey]

Hello,
any working example for esp8266 and sim800/900?

Tnx
Greg

[vshymanskyy]

Sure, just try latest release - and change sketch to use SoftSerial, baud 38400

[Evan_Unrue]

FYI - I’m using the Linksprite sim900 shield, had to use SoftwareSerial pins 7 and 8, not 2 and 3. Also 38400 baud wouldn’t work, had to use 19200. All working now !! Only slightly annoying thing is I get garbage in the serial monitor. Would be nice to get some feedback on whether it finds network, joins APN successfully and connects to Blynk server etc.

Apart from that… it’s alive !! Muhahahahahaaaa !!

[Evan_Unrue]

I managed to get it working and did a post here going through it

Hello,
i try combintion ESP8266 v 12E NODEMCU and SIM800E (is new version of SIM800L)

at fist im change a few settings at start.

Then i have problem with this:
1.) A T + C I P C L O S E = 1 send twice! Why close connection?
2.) Only first cycle recive data (to ESP)

Cycling this example ( Space char is from my terminal). Is ok?

[vshymanskyy]

Yes it is OK… if it works, why do you bother?

[GsmKey]

I have problem with transfer data from and to ESP. I use example and i make i little change in library.
On ESP i have relay board. I try to turn on/off relay from Blynk aplication.

After reset send data and recive from blynk server. Blue led turn on.
But when i try to chage relay status, data not exchange with server and ESP.

BR Greg

[vshymanskyy]

Are you sure, you use the latest blynk library package?

[GsmKey]

Yes, i use the latest libray on ESP and Android.

After a few hour…

I think is problem with answer from server.
I have i low GPRS signal. Maybe is problem, but i try with 5 diferent Gsm providers.

I need help or. direction to resolve problem.
