I have just got a DFRobot Bluno in the mail and am trying the basic bluetooth sketch found in “/Blynk/Boards_Bluetooth/DFRobot_Bluno_BLE_Link.ino” but am getting nowhere.
I set up a new device as Arduino Uno with connection type as BLE. I pasted the auth into the example sketch, and uploaded it to the Bluno.
I have a iPhone SE. I can connect to the Bluno in “Settings - Bluetooth” but on the Blynk app under the BLE widget, it does not connect.
I selected the “Connect BLE device” button in the widget, and a dropdown menu appears with all bluetooth devices in range. A device shows up as “Bluno” so I click on it, and after about 20 seconds of “Connecting…”, it says “Can’t connect. Please retry or choose another device.”
Providing the information that was requested when you created this topic would be a good starting point…
Add details :
• Hardware model + communication type. For example: Arduino UNO with Ethernet Shield
• Smartphone OS (iOS or Android) + Blynk App version
• Blynk server or local server
• Blynk Library version
• Add your sketch code. Code should be formatted as example below.
Simply paste your code between ``` If you don’t format your code, your topic can be deleted by moderators.
Bluno V2.0 BLE
iPhone SE completely upgraded.
Blynk Server.
Blynk Library Version: 1.0.1

*************************************************************
This example shows how to use DFRobot Bluno or BLE Link module
to connect your project to Blynk.
Please be sure to update your DFRobot firmware to at least V1.97:

NOTE: BLE support is in beta!

I assumed that if is said I had an iPhone, it would be implied that my Blynk version is for iOS, not android. I already said I was using an example for my code and where it was located in Arduino IDE. I didn’t think I would need to paste the example. I already said I had an iPhone SE in my first post, and that I was using a Bluno with BLE.
~90% of your requested information was in my first post.
The firmware for the Bluno? No I haven’t. I did see that there was a version 2 update for it with directions on how to do that but I haven’t done it yet because I didn’t think I absolutely needed to. Should I try that?
I saw that website. I tried to follow along but didn’t get very far because it uses an Android device. Instead I followed this page because it utilizes Blynk and can work with an iPhone. https://www.dfrobot.com/blog-1377.html
Would using an ESP32 instead fix this problem? I have used Blynk for a while but never with Bluetooth. I haven’t switched to Blynk IOT yet because it cost a monthly fee. Their Legacy system uses a token system where you pay for each widget you use. I already bought a LOT of tokens on Legacy that would be useless with IOT’s monthly payments.
Code should be formatted as example below.
