Hello,
I have been using a Arduino UNO and an Arduino Leonardo with a HC-05 bluetooth module. I had it working a few weeks ago just using the simple example and a youtube video on how to connect (Just using simple D13 pin to turn LED on/off. Button
I have the bluetooth connection. (module changes to slow blinking)
I have tried 3 different modules to make sure they are good…
I have tried 2 different boards (UNO and Leonardo)
Double checked connections…
Double checked auth code…
Serial monitor doesn’t work (set to 9600 for debug serial and serial.begin set to 38,400 per HC-05 default)…
Everything was working before. I decided I wanted to add a slider and some other code (I am not a novice coder) and it just stopped showing connection. The device shows connection to phone, but Blynk app shows read indicator on “chip” logo. Sometimes, I click on it and it will say “Wasn’t online yet”… sometimes it says it is. Either way… it doesn’t do anything.
I have deleted app and started from scratch many times.
One thing I have noticed, is after I load the example code for the HC-05 onto the boards, I have horrible issues connecting back to the board again. I literally have to restart the PC each time. I can do “Get board info” and it works but it always says “can’t find board” if I try to load anything. This happens ONLY if I load the HC-05 example code. Every other example code works fine with no restart issues.
I have tested this on 3 different PCs running windows.
Phone is Google Pixel 3… Updated OS
Blynk Library is latest version 0.6.1
Code is just the arduion example given by Blynk for HC-05

This example shows how to use Arduino with HC-06/HC-05
Bluetooth 2.0 Serial Port Profile (SPP) module
to connect your project to Blynk.
Note: This only works on Android! iOS does not support SPP :(
You may need to pair the module with your smartphone
via Bluetooth settings. Default pairing password is 1234
Feel free to apply it to any other example. It's simple!
NOTE: Bluetooth support is in beta!

#define BLYNK_USE_DIRECT_CONNECT
// You could use a spare Hardware Serial on boards that have it (like Mega)
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial DebugSerial(2, 3); // RX, TX
#define BLYNK_PRINT DebugSerial
#include <BlynkSimpleSerialBLE.h>
// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "YourAuthToken";
void setup()
{
// Debug console
DebugSerial.begin(9600);
DebugSerial.println("Waiting for connections...");
// Blynk will work through Serial
// 9600 is for HC-06. For HC-05 default speed is 38400
// Do not read or write this serial manually in your sketch
Serial.begin(38400);
Blynk.begin(Serial, auth);
}
void loop()
{
Blynk.run();
}
And your Blynk app version.
(Basically, all the stuff that you were asked to provide when you created the new thread…)
Add details :
• Hardware model + communication type. For example: Arduino UNO with Ethernet Shield
• Smartphone OS (iOS or Android) + version
• Blynk server or local server
• Blynk Library version
