Order of execution of the blynk functions at startup

Need Help With My Project
1

Hello,
I’d like to understand the order of execution of the blynk functions at startup .
for example this simplified sketch:

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Blynk.begin(auth, server_ip, 8080, arduino_ip, dns_ip, gateway_ip, subnet_mask, arduino_mac);

//other setup: GPIO, Functions...
}


BLYNK_CONNECTED() {  //update the values }

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

What is the correct order?

1-blynk begin function,
2-BLYNK_CONNECTED() function
3- //other setup: GPIO, Functions…

or

1-blynk begin function,
2-//other setup: GPIO, Functions…
3-BLYNK_CONNECTED() function

2

its a good question, and it can be answered by placing Serial.println(); commands
in setup() and BLYNK_CONNECTED(); and see what order they occur.

My guess is the latter… i.e. during Blynk.run()

Setup runs first and only once.

loop runs all the time but not untill after setup has completed.

blynk_connected only runs once when loop is running and the app gets connected.

I just tried this bit of code:

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(57600);
  Serial.println("about to do Blynk.begin");
  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
  // <------------------------------------------------BLYNK_CONNECTED executes here
  Serial.println("Blynk.begin completed");
  delay(100);
  Serial.println("Void setup 1");
  delay(100);
  Serial.println("Void setup 2");
}


BLYNK_CONNECTED()
{
  Serial.println("Blynk Connected executed");
}

void loop()
{
  Serial.println("Void Loop, about to do Blynk.run");
  Blynk.run();
  Serial.println("Void Loop, Blynk.run completed");
}

which produces this output in the serial monitor:

about to do Blynk.begin
[5398] Connecting to UltraNet

[15901] IP: 192.168.1.27

[15914] Connecting to blynk-cloud.com:80
[16084] Ready (ping: 56ms).
Blynk Connected executed
Blynk.begin completed
Void setup 1
Void setup 2
Void Loop, about to do Blynk.run
Void Loop, Blynk.run completed
Void Loop, about to do Blynk.run
Void Loop, Blynk.run completed

This shows that BLYNK_CONNECTED is executed IMMEDIATELY after the device has connected to Blynk, before the any further lines of code in void setup.

So this means that:

is the correct answer.

Pete.
