I created a simple app based on the example, and use the serial link to connect. After a reset of the arduino i can turn the onboard LED on and off using a button but it doesn’t glow full brightness. if i stop the app using the square and then hit the play again then it works full brightness again

* Blynk is a platform with iOS and Android apps to control

* You can easily build graphic interfaces for all your

**************************************************************
* This example shows how to use ordinary Arduino Serial
* to connect your project to Blynk.
* Feel free to apply it to any other example. It's simple!
*
* 1. Optional, but recommended.
* Connect additional USB-serial adapter to see the prints.
*
* 2. Edit auth token and upload this sketch.
* Be sure to select the right port (there may be multiple).
*
* 3. Run the script (it will redirect traffic to server):
* for Windows: scripts/blynk-ser.bat
* for Linux and OSX: ./scripts/blynk-ser.sh (may need to run with sudo)
*
* You can specify port, baud rate, and server endpoint like this:
* ./blynk-ser.sh -c <serial port> -b <baud rate> -s <server address> -p <server port>
*
* Run blynk-ser.sh -h for more information
*
* Attention!
* Arduino IDE may complain with "programmer is not responding".
* You need to terminate script before uploading new sketch.
*
* 4. Start blynking! :)
