I want my soil moisture sensor to display value on blynk app with a virtual pin on “Labelled Value” widget.
And I am not getting the code for it. It always shows 0 on serial monitor and never display value on blynk app either.
I checked my sensor and its working fine with a simple code showing o/p on serial monitor but for blynk it isn’t working.I use Arduino uno with esp8266 wifi shield.
The code is in getsoilMoistureData();
And 2 defines are on top 2 lines.
Plz help.

You didn’t mention if you are somehow connecting your devices to the App, and if any other data is coming through… The UNO requires SoftwareSerial to communicate with the ESP, and preferably at 9600 BAUD. Change that first.
My esp8266 is connected with wifi and its working completely fine even on the blynk app
and I’m even getting values for my temperature and humidity.
but I am not getting my soil moisture value as the code is incorrect. I need help with soil moisture code and its global define pins
Idk my friend
But you suggest me what should I change in it?
As I am not a pro just a beginner.
A answer in simple language is what I want so I can actually understand what you say. thank you.
You issue is not really Blynk specific… Read the link I already sent… study the >documentation< for Blynk and for >Arduino< as well as whatever examples are for that sensor. You don’t have to be a Pro to learn… how did you write the code you already have without research and learning?
