Control Arduino Using Blynk Via Usb

This is my second instructable. In this instructable i will show how to control LED's using Blynk.

Blynk is application which provides us dashboard as well as connectivity. which you can download it from google play store (for Android).& app store (for apple).using blynk you can control led from any where in world over internet.

3.LED's

4.latest arduino ide

Step 2: Blynk Setup

create an account on blynk app.then select buttons according to your requirement and select pins on which led is connected.

email your token to your gmail account.

Step 3:

Download Blynk library.

unzip this zip file and copy all the folders and paste it to arduino ide/ libraries.

then open the sketch in arduino ide from file "examles/blynk/bordandsheilds".select on Arduino serial usb.

then edit the sketch by entering

YourAuthToken

upload the sketch .

then search blynk-ser.bat file in

"Blynk-library\blynk-library\scripts"

edit the line no. 6 enter your serial com no.

(In my case where COM7 is port with my Arduino)

then run the file.

Is there any instruction on how to do it with the new app? There doesn't seem to be any way to get the old app working without a pre existing login

[Sean Santhosh]

But when I saw the official blynk website it says we shouldn't unzip the blynk library....

Hi, I am using this with a Mac. When I tried to upload the sketch "Arduino_Serial_USB", it gives the error message saying that it doesn't recognize the file/directory "BlynkSimpleStream.h". I understand the tutorial is designed for Windows but do you know how I can fix this error message?

Thank You :)

Use latest arduino ide 1.6.12
I am little bit busy due to exams.
If you not able to resolve the problem then visit & post your problem here

Thanks it worked one more question if you have the time. My sketch is verified but won't upload to my Arduino. Is this just due to the fact that it is a big file? Should I expect to wait the whole night? Or is there something else wrong? It just constantly says "Uploading"

Thanks Again (I know you have exams)

[saurabh47]

Arduino just take 3-4 seconds to upload a sketch.if sketch compiles then it definitely uploadable.
are you able to upload simple blinking LED sketch.??
If not then Check
1)have you select right COM port.
2) driver's installed properly or not.
3)if both not work then your arduino is damaged.

hello.. i have a little problem with the blynk-ser file, i cannot edit the 6 line in order to write my com no. port. and in my blynk library a dont find a file named blynk-ser.bat, i just find this file: blynk-ser.

[saurabh47]

Try to edit using notepad ++ or reinstall blynk library.
For detail guidance must watch video.

[AntoninoC3]

I tried, but it says "access denied, 0 file copied --- command com2tcp unknown or not internal" when I run the modified batch file.. should I modify the server port or other parameters?

[saurabh47]

You don't require to edit other parameters.
Try to run batfile as run administrator.
Post some screenshots.
Post your problem on blynk community.
