I have been trying Blynk for a few days using USB connection. I have successfully used “Value display, LED, Gauge and Graph Widgets”, but cannot get the LCD widget to work!
I am using Blynk_v0.3.1. and IOS 9.1 on iPhone6 and IOS 9.0.2 on iPad Mini2.
When I put the LCD widget in my project, it has about 4 chinese type characters at the bottom of the LCD widget. There is no fault code generated anywhere, just nothing appears in the LCD widget using example code.
I have seen an example screen shot of LCD widget and have noticed that I get no information on the LCD widget i.e… Virtual port etc.
P.S Love this app and appreciate the recent message regarding being kickstarter member.
I have version 1.6. of Blynk. I have selected ports and included data in the fields in both Simple and Advanced modes. In advanced mode, no port is shown on LCD widget screen. In simple mode, text entered in the message field appears on the screen, but no port number. Would it be helpful to send a photo of the LCD widget. Thanks!
Dear Trevor,
Sorry for the response delay.
In current implementation LCD never displays port number - it only shows values from the selected port.
As a solution to see port number I suggest you to input a format like this: “V2: /pin1/”.
Regarding advanced mode: as I understood values of pins are not displayed, right?
In this case please provide me with a kind of hardware you are using and it also would be great if you provide exact ports.
Hi,
I have sorted out the problem in simple mode. I did not really understand how it was used
but I do now, so ok.
In the advanced mode, all the fields are there when I go to configure the LCD widget. Basically, everything works except I cannot get any thing to appear in the LCD widget screen. I am using an Arduino Uno tethered to my PC(Macbook) so using SoftwareSerial on Virtual Port 1.
It may be something I am not doing right so I am happy to close this problem and I will
try it with Ethernet and WiFi when I get the parts.
regards
Trevor
