• Add your sketch code.
I have been trying to get the Joystick widget to work in “Merge” mode but can’t seem to get it to work. I have just edited the Edgent ESP32 sketch to include my template ID and device name as well as the example code for the joystick widget. Although information for connecting to the Blynk cloud is displayed on the serial monitor I can’t seem to get X/Y data to show up. I have tried DEBUG_PRINT instead of Serial.print but nothing changes.

// Uncomment your board, or configure a custom board in Settings.h
//#define USE_WROVER_BOARD
#include "BlynkEdgent.h"
BLYNK_WRITE(V4) // Executes when the value of virtual pin 1 changes
{
int x = param[0].asInt();
int y = param[1].asInt();
Serial.print("X = ");
Serial.print(x);
Serial.print("Y = ");
Serial.print(y);
}
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(100);
BlynkEdgent.begin();
}
void loop() {
BlynkEdgent.run();
}
@Pantone_Diago please edit your post, using the pencil icon at the bottom, and add triple backticks at the beginning and end of your code.
Triple backticks look like this:

I’ve done some more digging into this and it seems there is an issue with the “String” datastream. When I set a virtual pin as a “String” the associated virtual pin disappears in the list of available data streams in the app. However, when I change the data stream back to an Integer it shows up again. This could be related to why I’m just getting values from param[1].asInt(); with a merged joystick widget.
I tried what you had suggested with the same result but then I tried with an Android device with no issues. It seems iPhone only returns param[1].asInt() while Android returns both param[0].asInt() and param[1].asInt().
Also noticed that almost every time I move it it drops down about 10% just before responding. iOS app. (Seems just like the issue on the legacy app a year ago)
