Hi, I have a code running ok, running on an Arduino Nano, an LCD 0802a and an Ultrasonic sensor Hc-sr04.
I want to see on my phone with blynk what I currently see on LCD 0802a.
What widget should I use?
Value Display?
Labeled Value?
LCD?
I have tried with Blynk.virtualWrite but I have not managed to use my variables already with loaded data to be able to show them
Help please!
Do you have a connection interface? WiFi or Ethernet? Or want to use USB?
You can use any of those.
Can you share with us what you have tried?
Hi ldb, thank you for answering me, I forgot to clarify that I am connected to blynk by wifi and everything works ok, I did simple tests that have nothing to do with my code and it works very well, for example, turning on and off led and other tests.
But I can not make the variables that I already have with data send them that I see in my physical LCD, show them in one of the widgets.
It will be hard to help without your code
Ok post my code:

lcd.begin(COLS, ROWS);
// Mandamos al Blynk
Blynk.begin(auth, wifi, ssid, pass);
}
void loop()
{

total = total - lecturas[lecturaActual];
iniciarTrigger();
// La función pulseIn obtiene el tiempo que tarda en cambiar entre estados, en este caso a HIGH
unsigned long tiempo = pulseIn(PinEcho, HIGH);
// Obtenemos la distancia en cm, hay que convertir el tiempo en segudos ya que está en microsegundos
// por eso se multiplica por 0.000001
float distancia = tiempo * 0.000001 * VelSon / 2.0;
// Almacenamos la distancia en el array
lecturas[lecturaActual] = distancia;
// Añadimos la lectura al total
total = total + lecturas[lecturaActual];
// Avanzamos a la siguiente posición del array
lecturaActual = lecturaActual + 1;
// Comprobamos si hemos llegado al final del array
if (lecturaActual >= numLecturas)
{
primeraMedia = true;
lecturaActual = 0;
}
// Calculamos la media
media = total / numLecturas;
// Solo mostramos si hemos calculado por lo menos una media
if (primeraMedia)
{
float distanciaLleno = distanciaVacio - media;
float cantidadLiquido = distanciaLleno * 100 / distancia100;
int porcentaje = (int) (distanciaLleno * 100 / distanciaVacio);
// Mostramos en la pantalla LCD
lcd.clear();
// Cantidada de líquido
lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
// Formatie de ml a Litros

On your code you’re not sending data to Blynk.
I would suggest to create a timer and send data to Blynk, this example has it all: Push Data Example
An you send it as you print to LCD, for example: Blynk.virtualWrite(VX, String(lecturaActual)); or Blynk.virtualWrite(VX, String(porcentaje) + " % Car");
did yo run your app without any disconnection?
I think your loop will flood server.
Actually won’t, it’s not sending data to Blynk
Well it was what I had tried without understanding the code, but now I could do it and put only this and it works into de void loop:
// Mostramos en los label value del blynk
Blynk.virtualWrite(V2, String(cantidadLiquido));
Blynk.virtualWrite(V3, String(porcentaje));
But is it okay or am I doing something wrong, even though it works for me?
@Blynk_Coeur now he will 
@Gaston_Fernando_Mart as mentioned before you should put those routines inside a timer otherwise the board will send several data too frequent causing disconnections check this link http://docs.blynk.cc/#troubleshooting-flood-error
yes
jajaja, ok now part of my new code:
//Preparo Variables labels del blynk
BlynkTimer timer;
void myTimerEvent()
{
if (primeraMedia)
{
float distanciaLleno = distanciaVacio - media;
float cantidadLiquido = distanciaLleno * 100 / distancia100;
int porcentaje = (int) (distanciaLleno * 100 / distanciaVacio);
Blynk.virtualWrite(V2, String(cantidadLiquido));
Blynk.virtualWrite(V3, String(porcentaje) + " % Car");
}
else
{
Blynk.virtualWrite(V2,"Calc: " + String(lecturaActual));
}
}
But in my old code, in the void () loop I still have a delay (500); and I do not know how to change it because I will also be penalized with high delay.
My code into void loop ir big ( is part of view my lcd fisic).
ok there send all the code out of the void loop();
remove the delay and place everything inside:
BlynkTimer timer;
void myTimerEvent ()
It works correctly and the void loop was clean.
Thank you very much! to Alexis_Cabrera and ldb.
