here is my code from “blynk example”. connection is via usb. I want to use blynk time input to light led. led is on D4. i need the code for it

You didn’t format your posted code as instructed…

Or search this forum as recommended…

Missing something with attempt to understand Advanced Time Input

In an attempt to understand how to use Advanced Time Input I searched and found @Costas Scheduler.ino-Thank you. I attempted to modify it for a Wemos D1 Mini with the relay shield attached. Keep in mind that I am not an experienced programmer. I am using the latest Blynk app on iOS. The issue is that no matter what time I set the Time Input to in the future, I never get a respons from the relay when the Start time begins. I have selected a Start Time, Finish Time and Day of the Week. I added …

Here you are. How can i put digital pin in code to light led with time inpit widget?

[Gunner]

Now click on that link above and read up on how the Time Input Widget works… you will also want to switch to Virtual Pins for that Widget and control the GPIO via code that responds to the Widgets received data.

A somewhat simpler Time controlled option would be the basic Timer Widget…

still not working. is there any mistake?

void TimeCheck() {  // call with timer every 30 seconds or so

Blynk.syncVirtual(V1); // <------  Synchronize Time Input Widget every 30 seconds
 
 // Get RTC time
sprintf(currentTime, "%02d:%02d:%02d", hour(), minute(), second());
  Serial.print("Current Time: ");
  Serial.println(currentTime);

[Giorgi_Turdziladze]

erase this part?

[Blynk_Coeur]

@Giorgi_Turdziladze

erase this part?

no, add sync

void TimeCheck() {  // call with timer every 30 seconds or so
Blynk.syncVirtual(V1); // <------  Synchronize Time Input Widget every 30 seconds

[Giorgi_Turdziladze]

code consists of it-

BLYNK_CONNECTED() {
  Blynk.syncVirtual(V1); //  Synchronize Time Input Widget when connected
  TimeCheck(); // Initial Time Check
}

[Blynk_Coeur]

only at first connect !
you have to sync each 30 sec

BLYNK_CONNECTED() {
  Blynk.syncVirtual(V1); //  Synchronize Time Input Widget when connected
  TimeCheck(); // Initial Time Check
}

still doesn’t work

ok but what do you see on serial monitor ?

[Giorgi_Turdziladze]

I can’t use serial monitor because com3 port is busy because of blynk(i’m using usb connction)

[Blynk_Coeur]

I’m using the same com port to upload code and to see serial monitor.
it’s quiet normal, else you can’t see nothing
but you have to open serial monitor after upload completed

[Giorgi_Turdziladze]

without opening blynk-ser.bat

[Blynk_Coeur]

nothing runs!
is there any issue when you upload the sketch?

[Gunner]

@Giorgi_Turdziladze

i’m using usb connction

@Blynk_Coeur The OP is using the primary USP port for the actual Serial to networking connection to Blynk… it is in use full time.

@Giorgi_Turdziladze You can add in a software serial connection and using another TTL-USB adapter and a terminal program like termite to have a 2nd serial channel for debugging.

[Blynk_Coeur]

I got ît.
I just understood that it’s not an Ethernet connection.
