LCD Photon problems, inconsistent

Need Help With My Project
1

Can’t seem to get the LCD widget to run properly on my Samsung Android.
At times it seems to work but more often than not I cannot read the 1st line.
HELP!
Here’s my code

#include “blynk/blynk.h”
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
char auth[] = “my auth code”;
WidgetLCD lcd(V1);

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Blynk.begin(auth);
while (Blynk.connect() == false) // Wait until connected
pinMode(D0, OUTPUT);
lcd.clear();
delay(250);
lcd.print(1, 0, “MikesPart”);
lcd.print(1, 1, “is online”);

}

void loop()
{
Blynk.run();
}

Does this sketch works?

3

Thanks
Do I really need the
include SPI.h
Ethernet.h
and BlynkSimpleEthernet.h ?

I can’t seem to find those libraries

4

Yes. BlynkSimpleEthernet are part of Blynk library. Other files are from another libs.

5

I tried the example code without the include files.
The code almost works but again, I do not receive the 1st line of text on my smartphone
All I get is “World”

6

Still can’t find those libraries

7

Do you have latest Blynk app?

8

My Android says
V 1.13.2

9

Is your widget in advanced mode?

10

Yes.
I also tried to just display /pin0/ but got nothing there as well.

Do you stop your project?

12

This is weird. If I comment out the 2nd line of text it works although it does not clear the display.
If I then add the 2nd line back in, it displays everything.

WidgetLCD lcd(V1);

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Blynk.begin(auth);
while (Blynk.connect() == false) // Wait until connected
lcd.clear();
delay(500);
lcd.print(4, 0, “MikesPart”);
// lcd.print(4, 1, “is online”);
pinMode(D0, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
Blynk.run();
}

If you mean stop the app on my phone then yes.
I stop it, verify the code on Particle build, then flash.
Wait a minute or two the start the app.

I tried it on my IOS device, same result.
It fails to print the 1st line as well as any /pin/ request.
D0 works as an outout, D1 works and communicates as a digitalread
Code.
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Blynk.begin(auth);
while (Blynk.connect() == false) // Wait until connected
lcd.clear();
delay(500);
lcd.print(3, 0, " Part");
lcd.clear();
//delay(500);
lcd.print(4, 1, “is online”);
pinMode(D0, OUTPUT);
}
