I was looking up Blynk for some time and after many days I decided to use for my school project. I installed everything, made local wifi network on raspberry, set up the autostart and then few problems came to me and I got stuck.
First of all I really can’t get to work my arduino UNO which through serial(usb) I’m connecting to Rasberry. I need just to thing get working and that’s button for led and slider for sending data to arduino. I can’t do even the button I really don’t know where is the problem… If someone knows some tutorial which is straight forward It would mean a lot to me :/. I did what was on official websites (and ofc I tried some tutorial) but nothing worked…
Second problem is that I can’t change anything in administration. Everything what I setup (f.e. email) after refresh sets to default (yes…I saved it… many times). Does anyone knows what to do?
Local Server is an advanced process, not to mention working in a Linux environment with user write protection, PATH and such… I recommend you start with using your UNO off a USB script on your PC (Windows?) and learn how Blynk works.
Then, slowly, as you gain experience you can advance toward the bigger stuff like Local Server and running/working in Linux environments.
Hi,
Thank you for your respond. I’m aware that local server is not easy to setup. I already faced some problems, which I fixed. I honestly think that I set up the most of what was needed (and I tried to set it up on windows which worked). I know that I probably did some mistakes on my go but I would like to set up everything right. Do you know some tutorial by which I could quick check what I forgot/done wrong or what should I improve? I’m not that big newbie in command line
What about the administration? That’s something which I don’t get
EDIT: Okay. I fixed the administration :x I’m dumb… wrong folder :x
As far as I have seen here, or on the web… there is no actual “Using RPi for Local Server & Arduino via USB Link” tutorial… as that is not really a common combination to use (usually ESP and WiFi). But I seem to recall reading that someone might have mentioned doing such a thing
Keep searching… but if you can’t find one, perhaps you can be the one to make it once you figure it all out
Meanwhile, search this forum for keywords like RPI, Local Server… perhaps with the topic “Projects Made with Blynk” and consider adding in keywords like UNO and USB. Searching itself is an art
I really don’t know where is the problem… If someone knows some tutorial which is straight forward It would mean a lot to me :/. I did what was on official websites (and ofc I tried some tutorial) but nothing worked…
