Hi guys, excuse my English, I am using a translator.
Well, I have the code in arduino, (blynk defines them and where the pass and router name goes, I have them right, I just did not put it in the following code) that sends the data to blynk.
But on the map only appears my location but not the gps as such, if you mark the coordinates above in some labels that I put, but the location (Location V0, so it is assigned on the map of blynk) does not appear the location of the gps, I think it appears immobile in the coordinate 0,0. The truth is that I got the code from a youtube video using an older blynk…
I am using the ESP8266 module and the gps neo 6m.
Thanks in advance, I hope I understand.
