LCD Is not working without WIFI

Hello,
lcd is not working.
it works only after connecting to the wifi network and I would like the lcd to work independently

Please edit your post and add triple backticks ( ``` ) before and after your whole sketch.

First of all, both blynk.begin and blynk.run are blocking functions, so internet connection is required.

Second thing, you should read this
https://docs.blynk.io/en/legacy-platform/legacy-articles/keep-your-void-loop-clean

Old Blynk works no problem but connecting was

Blynk.config(auth, "blynk-cloud.com", 8442);

Blynk.connect();
if (Blynk.connected()) Blynk.run(); else Blynk.connect();
  
Serial.begin(9600);
lcd.backlight();
sensors.begin();
lcd.init();
lcd.clear();
Serial.println(LED);
timer.setInterval(1000L, temp);

but I cant’ connect to new blynk in the same code. So have to put

Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);

Blynk-cloud.com is the old blynk server, the new blynk server is blynk.cloud
also, Blynk uses 443 port for TLS connections and 80 port for plain connections

doesn’t work

other connection option?

Have you tried Blynk.config(auth); ?

Maybe if you shared your code it would help.
Are you manually configuring your WiFi connection first?

Blynk.config and Blynk.connect do work with Blynk IoT, I’ve tried it myself.

It works
Thank you very much for your help !!

Please share the solved code if possible.

@Kamran the hardware that @zkz is using is a NodeMCU. As a said to you in a different topic, your life would be much easier if you were also using a NodeMCU or ESP32.

When you use an Arduino + ESP-01 which is functioning as a WiFi modem in AT mode then you have very limited control over your WiFi system.

Hello again.

Another problem. I need to use wifi.manager to manual connect to WIFI.
And it’s the same problem. LCD only works when connected to wifi.
Is it possible to make a code to work lcd with temperature without connecting to wifi?

Yes.

But as you aren’t telling us what changes you made to add WiFi manager to your existing sketch, or even shared you working sketch prior to adding-in WiFi Manager, its impossible to explain how to do this in your case.

BTW, have you looked at Blynk Edgent as an alternative to WiFi Manager?

Pete.

code.
My dream is.
“Put ssid and pass, and if Wi-Fi is not connected, make AP - Wi-Fi manager… but LCD must work all the time.”

of course only wifi manager is enough

Void loop :scream::scream::scream:

And where is your working sketch without WiFi manager?

If that means that only WiFiManager can achieve this for you then you clearly haven’t looked at Blynk Edgent as I suggested.

Pete.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Love the idea of trying to read 4 sensors ever 30ms, and that fact that there a BlynkTimer declared and fed in the void loop, but not used :confused:

and this actually works?
You appear to be missing quite a lot of WiFi connection code that loops in a while or for loop until WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED

Your WiFi manager code seems to have abandoned the concept of connecting to WiFi altogether, so I can’t see how it could ever work, unless it’s using the WiFi credentials that the ESP stores in is NVR.

Even when you sort this out, your void loop is appalling and breaks all the rules of Blynk, so your sketch needs some serious restructuring.

I keep asking this, but have you looked at the Blynk Edgent example?

Pete.
