Connection issue Wemos D1

Need Help With My Project
1

hi guys, i have problem with my Blynk. after uploading the code to Wemos D1 and opens blynk, my project continually connect and disconnect.
someone please help me :smile:

this my code :

#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include<BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>
BlynkTimer timer;

char auth [] = "xxxx";
char ssid [] = "xxxx";
char pass [] = "xxxx";

int distance, gas, motion;

SoftwareSerial wemos(D5, D6);

void ultrasonic() {
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V1, distance);
  if (distance <= 5) {
    Blynk.notify("bak penuh") ;
  }
}

void mq2() {
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V2, gas);
  if (gas >= 700) {
    Blynk.notify("gas terdeteksi");
  }
}

void pir() {
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V3, motion);
  if (gerakan == HIGH) {
    Blynk.notify("gerakan terdeteksi");
  }
}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  wemos.begin(9600);
  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
  pinMode (D5, INPUT);
  pinMode (D6 , OUTPUT);
  timer.setInterval(500L, ultrasonic);
  timer.setInterval(500L, mq2);
  timer.setInterval(500L, pir);
}


String arrData[3] = ""; //3 sensor

void loop() {
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run();
  
  String data  = "";
  //baca data yang diterima
  while (Serial.available() > 0)
  {
    data += char (Serial.read());
  }

  //membuang spasi data
  data.trim();
  Serial.println(data);
  
  //parsing data
  int index = 0;
  for (int i = 0; i < data.length(); i++)
  {
    char delimiter = '#';  //pemisah
    if (data[i] != delimiter)
      arrData[index] += data[i];
    else
      index++;
  }
  
  //tampilkan di serial monitor
  Serial.println("Sensor Ultrasonic : " + arrData[0]);
  Serial.println("Sensor PIR : " + arrData[1]);
  Serial.println("Sensor MQ2 : " + arrData[2]);
  Serial.println();
  
  distance   = arrData[0].toInt();
  motion = arrData[1].toInt();
  gas     = arrData[3].toInt();
  
  arrData[0] = "";
  arrData[1] = "";
  arrData[2] = "";
  
}

the connection is good, pin looks fine
but idk why my wemos can’t connect to my blynk
sorry, my english is bad :smile:

@Indra_Sitanggang please edit your post, using the pencil icon at the bottom, and add triple backticks at the beginning and end of your code so that it displays correctly.
Triple backticks look like this:

ok thanks, my bad

Your title mentions a Mega, but you are running the code on the Wemos D1. What’s this all about?

If you are actually managing to connect to Blynk using this code on your Wemos then the disconnections will be caused by your void loop.
Read this:

i dont get it

look, i am doing a smart home project with serial communication between arduino and wemos, the program on arduino is running fine but after the wemos program i have a problem in the connection which keeps dropping on blynk. maybe you’re right in the void loop. can you help me find the right program for my wemos.

thanks

I think that’s your first mistake when planning g the architecture of this system. It’s far from the ideal way to approach a smart home project and a difficult communication timing challenge when working within Blynk.

A better solution would be to have one MCU doing everything (an ESP32 if you need multiple analog ports), or multiple MCUs that connect directly to Blynk and use Bridge code if needed.

But, whatever hardware architecture approach you adopt, you can’t have a void loop that looks like that with Blynk. You’ll understand why if you read the “keep your void loop clean” document I linked to.

I’ve seen some video tutorials on Arduino and Esp serial communication using Blynk, and everything looks fine. I wonder what’s wrong, is it better to use nodeMCU instead of wemos? I guess

No, they both use the same ESP8266 processor chip.

It’s better, in my opinion, not to use the Arduino. Stick with devices that have native internet connectivity, and whatever you do don’t go for one of those awful Arduino Mega and ESP8266 combined boards.

What does the Mega give you that can’t be achieved with either an ESP8266 or ESP32 based board?

In that situation, I’d suggest that you reach out to the authors of the videos, as its impossible to comment on some of the weird and wonderful things that some people choose to post videos about - especially when you don’t cite your sources.
