Soil Moisture Sensor with gauge

#17

you will make people upset if you don’t format your code properly with three ``` backticks at beginning and end…

The code is so correct for gauge
Because in the case of a soil moisture sensor, it indicates dryness instead of 0 1023 and in the case of moist 0 instead of 1023

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial DebugSerial(2, 3); // RX, TX
#define BLYNK_PRINT DebugSerial
#include <BlynkSimpleStream.h>
#include <SimpleTimer.h>

int Sensorvalue=0;
int sensorPin=A0;
int sensorValuePercent=0;

SimpleTimer timer;

char auth[] = "6044f1c85";

void setup()
{
  // Debug console
  DebugSerial.begin(9600);
timer.setInterval(3000L, blinkLedWidget);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Blynk.begin(Serial, auth);
}

void blinkLedWidget()
{
Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, analogRead(A0) );
 Sensorvalue = map(Sensorvalue, 0,1023,1023,0);
sensorValuePercent = (300/1023) * 100; // In Prozent
  }
void loop()    
{
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run();
 }
#19

^ Comment inline with your code.

#20

Also does not work the same

Sensorvalue = map(Sensorvalue, 1023,0,1023,0);

or

Sensorvalue = map(Sensorvalue, 1023,0,0,1023);

#21

Also

Should this:

sensorValuePercent = (300/1023) * 100;

Not be:

sensorValuePercent = (Sensorvalue/1023) * 100;

#22

Mark, what is the raw values for analogread(A0) dry and wet?

#23

dry is 1023 instead of 0

wet is 0 instead of 1023

#24 
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial DebugSerial(2, 3); // RX, TX
#define BLYNK_PRINT DebugSerial
#include <BlynkSimpleStream.h>
#include <SimpleTimer.h>

int Sensorvalue=0;
int sensorPin=A0;
int sensorValuePercent=0;


WidgetLED led1(V1);
WidgetLED led2(V2);
SimpleTimer timer;

char auth[] = "6044f1c858a547d5a54cf14a1287de89";

void setup()
{
  // Debug console
  DebugSerial.begin(9600);
timer.setInterval(3000L, blinkLedWidget);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Blynk.begin(Serial, auth);
}

void blinkLedWidget()
{
Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, analogRead(A0) );
 Sensorvalue = map(Sensorvalue, 0,1023,0,1023);
sensorValuePercent = (Sensorvalue/1023)* 100; // In Prozent
  }
void loop()    
{
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run();
 }

Does not work with blynk

#25

It doesn’t work because you do not have any code to obtain the SensorValue.

Directly after:

Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, analogRead(A0) );

add;

SensorValue = analogRead(A0);

#26

Does not work even with dry 1023 and with moist 0

#27

Home now, busy checking.

try this:

void blinkLedWidget()
{
  Sensorvalue = analogRead(A0);
  Sensorvalue = map(Sensorvalue, 0, 1023, 1023, 0);
  sensorValuePercent = (Sensorvalue / 1023) * 100; // In Prozent
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, Sensorvalue);
}
#28

:smiley: THANK YOU it works now as I would like to thank you again

#29

This works now (I’ve added wifi connection details etc as I don’t use serial connection to blynk)

When the fakesensor (I don’t have a moisture sensor handy) value is 0 the gauge widget shows 1023 (full) and as the fakesensor value increases the gauge decreases. (how many posts are needed for a simple remapping…)

//#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
//SoftwareSerial DebugSerial(2, 3); // RX, TX
//#define BLYNK_PRINT DebugSerial
//#include <BlynkSimpleStream.h>

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <SimpleTimer.h>

int Sensorvalue = 0;
int sensorPin = A0;
int sensorValuePercent = 0;
int FakeSensorvalue = 0;
int i = 0;

WidgetLED led1(V1);
WidgetLED led2(V2);
SimpleTimer timer;
SimpleTimer faketimer;

char auth[] = "My Auth";  //Insert Your Auth Code Here
char ssid[] = "My SSID;                      //WiFi SSID
char pass[] = "My PSK";                       //WiFi Key / Password
IPAddress server_ip (192, 168, 1, 00;            //insert local server IP address here

WiFiClient espClient;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  // Connect to WiFi network (DHCP Mode)
  WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
  Serial.print("\n\r \n\rWorking to connect");

  // Wait for connection
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
  {
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
  }

  Blynk.config(auth, server_ip); //local server connection string
  //for Blynk cloud uncomment below
  // Blynk.config(auth);

  while (Blynk.connect() == false) {}


  // Debug console
  //DebugSerial.begin(9600);
  timer.setInterval(1000L, blinkLedWidget);
  faketimer.setInterval(1000L, loopsensor); //need this to simulate the sensor

  //Blynk.begin(Serial, auth);
}

void blinkLedWidget()
{
  //Sensorvalue = analogRead(A0);
  Sensorvalue = FakeSensorvalue;
  Sensorvalue = map(Sensorvalue, 0, 1023, 1023, 0);
  sensorValuePercent = (Sensorvalue / 1023) * 100; // In Prozent
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, Sensorvalue);
  Blynk.virtualWrite(V6, FakeSensorvalue); //Just to see the raw value
  Serial.print("Sensor Val: ");
  Serial.println(Sensorvalue);
  Serial.print("Fake Sensor Val: ");
  Serial.println(FakeSensorvalue);
}
void loop()
{
  Blynk.run();
  timer.run();
  faketimer.run();
}
void loopsensor() {
  FakeSensorvalue = FakeSensorvalue + 1;
  if (FakeSensorvalue == 1023) FakeSensorvalue = 0;
}

Ignore the other buttons. the value display is V6 and the gauge is V5.

hey please can u share with me the last form of the code that worked i amm doing a plant watering project and i am facing same problem as you

#31

hello what do you mean I’ve solved the problem with map

<<<sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
sensorValue = map(sensorValue, 0, 1023, 1023, 0);
sensorValuePercent = (sensorValue / 1023) * 100;
Serial.print (String ("Bodenfeuchte ist : ") + sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin));
Blynk.virtualWrite(V7, sensorValue);>>>

can u share the whole code please

Well, digging the one year old topic is usually bad thing to do, but in this case, response was just brilliant, fast and precise.

Hats off to you, @markop!
