OK totally lost here with Blynk2.0 example!

I pulled the list that @Blynk_Coeur linked to from the website.
If you look at the plan comparison the basic/pro widget have a little information symbol next to them. Click that and it pops up a list.

It’s worth checking the list again, as there is talk of adding more to the basic list.

What criteria determines my “trust level” here on the board ?

You are level 3, so you are at trust level :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

The trust levels are defined when the forum is created, and there are criterial like number of topics read, number of posts made, number of likes given and received etc. There are also some rolling 100 day targets that look at whether you’re still an active member of the forum.
Moderators have the ability to promote members to a higher trust level, and lock them there so that they don’t slip back down if they don’t visit for a while. We usually do this when we identify people who are significant positive contributors to the forum, or when people broadly meet the criteria but may not have given many likes to other users for example.

Being at trust level 3 also grants access to “The Lounge”, which was traditionally used for off-topic banter, but which hasn’t seen much activity recently.

I promoted you to level 3 and locked you there about 2 years ago.

Interestingly, the wording for the criteria has changed to…

Free access to PRO plan for the most notable members of Blynk community
These members will be handpicked by Blynk team and will be notified about it directly via email.

The full post is here…

Hi Pete,

So how do you find your own ‘Trust’ level ?

Cheers

kev

Click on your username and you’ll see a badge with the friendly name for your trust level…

image

New User = 0
Basic User = 1
Member = 2
Regular = 3
Leader = 4

But, as I said in my previous post, it seems that Trust Levels aren’t the criterial that will be used now anyway.

We are only 26 whith grade 3 :smile:

There’s 28, but that includes some Blynk staff…

Pete.

thanks as usual Pete!

Yes they are 3 from the staff , they are basic member :smile:

Then there is the vaunted Level 4 (Leader)… I think they got access to the cake in the lunch room :laughing:

You and Peter are leaders of the community, you will got access to the cake too :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Blynk 1.0 vs 2.0 upgrade – My Experience

Picture 1 – Arduino Infrared remote control keyboard sold all over the Internet. Emulates a NEC encoded unit, and manufactured in China. Has 10 white digit buttons, 4 blue direction-arrow buttons, and 3 red function-control buttons. Sold by Keyes, Wingoneer, and many others.

Picture 2 – Blynk 1.0 virtualization of the keyboard. All of the above keys, plus 3 new function keys (auto-refresh, temperature, and AQI selection), and three WiFi functionality test keys. At the bottom of the screen is the serial monitor widget used to communicate with the Arduino App and display messages from the App. Notice how “dark screen mode” makes the widget color coding really pop and stand out.

Picture 3 – Blynk 2.0 virtualization of the keyboard. All of the same buttons as 1.0, but no serial monitor widget (yet). The first four buttons are assigned to virtual datastreams 1 thru 4. The rest of the numerical buttons have un-assigned datastreams because no more INT selections show up when I hit the “+” key to add them. There are no digital or analog pin assignments allowed in 2.0 as far as I can tell so far; I would have to eliminate these.

Conclusions:

I need at least 20 pin assignments to virtualize my Arduino remote control in 2.0 just like I did in 1.0. Maybe if I upgrade my plan, more would appear and be useable; I can’t tell without upgrading yet. Analog and digital pins would be nice.

Enable “dark screen mode” for the widget screen. It is so much more impressive and really makes the colors pop. Compare pictures of 1.0 to 2.0.

Give me a way to change the name of the widget template labeled “New Template” once it has already been saved.

I have not yet added a device or investigated the Control Console. If I can’t somehow get all the widget buttons I need added to the template, then 2.0 won’t be useable by me. What that means is I give up and go back to using the actual Arduino remote control once again instead of the virtual Blynk 2.0 one on my iPhone.

Hi Mike, I think you should ne on the PRO Plan, as one of the Trust Level 3 members.
Those buttons widgets you’ve used look like styled buttons, which are only available with Plus/Pro, so I think you must have received the free upgrade.
In the web portal go to Settings > Billing and it will tell you.

At the moment, datastreams can only be assigned to virtual pins. I know that they’re working on adding digital pins in the near future, but I’m not sure about Analaog.

You could convert your sketch to use virtual pins to control the digital pins of your MCU. Personally, I never use anything other than virtual pins.

You can add as many DS as you need in Blynk.Console. Because template is now required, we made it so the mobile app quickly creates a default template with just a few datastreams. For now you can’t edit DS in the app.

You can do it in Template settings in Blynk.Console

While it was an awesome feature to control pins directly, it had its own drawbacks. Better to always use Virtual Pins. Even when we add this feature back

So finally setup a LED on pin 7 of my arduino and then setup a slider on the ios blynk app and on the web dashboard and it works!!! so slider moves in real time on phone and web.

one little problem I have found is that the slider is set from 0 to 255 but I need it to be from 255 to 0
ie digital 0 = 255 and digital 1 = 0
I can no longer see a way of reversing this which you could just do in the blynk app before ???

It’s not currently possible - I’ve requested this functionality in another thread. I’m sure they’ll add this in at some point.

what a pain in the butt this is!!!

EDIT so has to be done with programming for now
