Arduino Uno pins aren't responding

Need Help With My Project

Hi, i got a problem when trying to make a simple example of turn on a digital pin which is connected to a LED with my Arduino Uno + ESP-01.
It is the example explained there: Send Device Data to Blynk - Blynk Documentation.

My code is:

#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>

// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "*********";

// Your WiFi credentials.
// Set password to "" for open networks.
char ssid[] = "MiFibra-85CC";
char pass[] = "*******";



void setup()
{
    pinMode(2,OUTPUT);
  // Debug console
   Serial.begin(9600);

  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
  // You can also specify server:
  //Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass, IPAddress(192,168,1,100), 8080);

}

int vPin2;

BLYNK_WRITE(V2)
{
  vPin2 = param.asInt(); // assigning incoming value from pin V1 to a variable

  if (vPin2 == 1){
    digitalWrite(2,HIGH);
   Serial.println("Hasta aqui llego 1");
  }
  else
  {
    digitalWrite(2,LOW);
   Serial.println("Hasta aqui llego 2");
  }
// process received value
}

void loop()
{
 Blynk.run();
}

and that is what the serial monitor shows after upload it and press the button few times:

Hasta aqui llego 1

It seems to work all correctly but my pins don’t respond.

I also tried to load a program just using the Arduino Uno which is a simple blink of digital pin 3. It worked and when i tried to load the blynk program again it cotinued working as i said but arduino Uno keeps blinking LED in pin 3 (when it is not even used in this program, just in the program i loaded before) and not responding to the digitalWrite(2,HIGH); and digitalWrite(2,LOW); commands.

BTW: I connected pins 0 and 1 (RX and TX) to the ESP, GND to the grount of a power supply circuit of 3.3 V which aliment the ESP and i tested pins 2 and 3 connecting with a led + resistor and also with a voltimeter. in both modes worked only the pin 3.

@Strelok please edit your post, using the pencil icon at the bottom, and add triple backticks at the beginning and end of your code so that it displays correctly.
Triple backticks look like this:

Done, sorry.

When you use an ESP-01 and Arduino together with Blynk, the ESP-01 is used as a WiFi modem for the Arduino.

For this to work, the ESP-01 needs to be running the factory AT firmware, and the sketch needs to be uploaded to the Arduino.

It appears that you have uploaded your sketch to the ESP-01, thus overwriting the factory AT firmware.

If you want to rectify this then you’ll need to re-install the ESP-01 AT firmware, and change your sketch so that it uses the correct libraries for the Arduino.

Ok thanks you so much, it really makes sense. But do i need to buy the USB adapter for using the AT firmware or its just a software issue?

I don’t understand the question.
