Hello,
I’m using Arduino UNO with Ethernet2 Shield and uploaded the DHT Blynk example code.
The AM2302 sensor works well because I can see the value of temperature and humidity on the serial monitor but not on Gauge in the App.
I read virtual pin V5 and V6 but they don’t show nothing, buttons and switches works well.
I tried IOS and Android App but it’s the same.
I’m using the Blynk Cloud server and Blynk Library version 0.5.4
If I upload other sketches using virtual pins like terminal or if I read analog inputs it works.
Don’t show nothing (grammar cop alert ) or do show incorrect value? Perhaps something like %3f
You are not using any ESP based devices in this issue, so this might not be the cause, but have you installed the ESP Core for Arduino by any chance?
Only other thing i can think of based on the limited info provided is that you might not have your display/gauge widget set to PUSH (should be set automatically, but check it anyhow). Edit - I tested and it shouldn’t actually matter.
Try using a Value Display or Labeled Display widget as well.
I thing you need to post your code (correctly formatted with backticks), as the standard DHT11 sketch from the Sketch Builder doesn’t write any temperature and humidity data to the serial monitor, so from what you’ve said about…
I’m assuming that you’ve modified the code in some way, or those temp and humidity readings were seen when using a different sketch.
A screenshot of your app setup, in Stopped mode would also be handy.
Hi guys,
First, thank you for your reply and interest.
Second, I’m sorry for my english…
I changed the topic title because my board is not a genuine Arduino but an STM32 board and I use the STM32 Core to compile the sketch. (I have the ESP Core installed too.)
I tested the same code on a clone of Arduino Nano board with the same configuration and it works well.
So the problem is on the STM32 board.
I would like to discover why it dosen’t work properly on that board…
I tested some widget on the App (Gauge, Value Display, Labeled Value…) but none show the value like if you choose a unused Virtual Pin.
My code is the following:

OK I guess you mean completely blank displays? - AKA NO value whatsoever?
Reason I asked about the ESP core is that there was a resurgence in an old float display issue (values would show as %3f, instead of proper value), requiring updating the ESP core to 2.4.1+
Hmmm… I am experimenting with a unique BLE board that also refuses to display any widget data,… probably completely different issue, but some of my suggestions might confirm if yours is just the device to App communication or all around communication issue (even though seemingly connected)
Try to control an LED on the board, both via direct GPIO pin control in a button widget (if an option in the App devices), as well as via virtual pin control with another button widget and a BLYNK_WRITE() function. Does that work?
I did some tests on the STM32 board and discovered that the Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, h) function fail with floating point numbers.
Instead it works with integers and strings.
Somebody know which library is involved with this function?
) or do show incorrect value? Perhaps something like %3f
