I can´t get update data on Virtual pin

Hello everyone.

I have project which contains:

  • Arduino uno (Connected via USB)
  • Buzzer
  • HC-SR04 senzor
    The main idea is when object is near to sensor buzzer would make sounds and I should get mobile notification.

I prepared project on web site and I added 1 data stream for calculated distance (double). But I can´t get different value :frowning:

So I my project works only missing part is update on site. I assume script to usb connection work as well (after running a script I see my device online)

This is my current code:

#define BLYNK_TEMPLATE_ID "TMPLG3UKxLkq"
#define BLYNK_DEVICE_NAME "VNOS project"
#define BLYNK_AUTH_TOKEN "******************"

#define BLYNK_PRINT SwSerial

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial SwSerial(10, 11); // RX, TX

#include <BlynkSimpleStream.h>

char auth[] = BLYNK_AUTH_TOKEN;

#define echoPin 7 // Echo Pin
#define trigPin 8 // Trigger Pin
#define LEDPin 13 // Onboard LED
#define buzzer 5 //buzzer pin
int maximumRange = 50; // Maximum range needed
int minimumRange = 0; // Minimum range needed
long duration, distance; // Duration used to calculate distance

BlynkTimer timer;

void myTimerEvent()
{
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V6, millis() / 1000);
}

void setup() {

  SwSerial.begin(115200);
  Serial.begin (9600);
  Blynk.begin(Serial, auth);
  pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(LEDPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);

  timer.setInterval(1000L, myTimerEvent);
}

void loop() {

  Blynk.run();
  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
  delayMicroseconds(2);
  digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
  delayMicroseconds(10);
  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
  duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);

  distance = duration / 58.2;
  if (distance >= maximumRange || distance <= minimumRange) {

//some stuff

  }
  else {

    digitalWrite(buzzer, HIGH);
  }

  delay(2000);
  digitalWrite(buzzer, LOW);
}

If anybody could help me with this that would be awsome.

First of all, you must read this

My eyes. I line fix. Thanks man I miss that completly.

Your sketch doesn’t contain any code that will send your calculated distance values to a virtual pin datastream.
