Ok, I know this has been asked to death but I can’t seem to find the issue with my BT module and I don’t see this particular problem anywhere. When I try running the example shown above that came with the Blynk library, nothing happens. Literally. Nothing shows up in the serial monitor (with the Baud at 9600), not even a ‘‘waiting for connection’’. The Blynk app just says: '‘wasn’t online yet’. The BT module blinks with at 2 Hz showing a successful connection and yet nothing happens. The ARDUINO is working correctly, I’ve entered to the AT Command mode multiple times to check the status of the module and to my knowledge everything seems fine. I seriously don’t know what to do. Any ideas?
The connections are the following:
Vcc> 5 V
GND>Ground
Tx>PWM 10
Rx> PWM 11
If you’ve read this far, at least, thanks for that. Makes me feel less alone in this.
You have your BT module connected to DebugSerial, but then attempt connection to Blynk via the Serial link.
Basically backwards
The particular problem where you are using your links backwards, or the particular problem where you are not double checking your… well, everything… before asking… We see that 2nd issue (and statement) all the time here
You are never alone here… there is always someone to critique something
PS, don’t forget to correct this one as well… as printing across the communication link (once you fix it) will cause issues
Thanks for the fast reply. To be honest, I’m a complete novice and I thought that since the code was a library example everything was set up correctly. And the guy in this video didn’t change anything either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAX60zOwQyw
As I said, I’m a total noob, if it’s within the limit of your patience, could you edit the code I sent with your recommendations and post it?
Not always… there are way too many hardware combinations to do that properly all the time, so there are lots of commented alternatives and a fair degree of coding competency required… The developers even have a note of such potential issue in the pages…
Beside… this is the “official” example for UNO and HC-05… very different from your posting.

Blynk is a platform with iOS and Android apps to control
Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes over the Internet.
You can easily build graphic interfaces for all your
projects by simply dragging and dropping widgets.

Blynk library is licensed under MIT license
This example code is in public domain.
*************************************************************
Note: This only works on Android!
iOS does not support Bluetooth 2.0 Serial Port Profile
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!
You’ll need:
- Blynk App (download from AppStore or Google Play)
- Arduino Uno board
- Decide how to connect to Blynk
(USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)
There is a bunch of great example sketches included to show you how to get
started. Think of them as LEGO bricks and combine them as you wish.
For example, take the Ethernet Shield sketch and combine it with the
Servo example, or choose a USB sketch and add a code from SendData
example.
