11. Led/Relay Control by Blynk App
Overview of BLYNK App
Blynk is a new platform that allows you
to quickly build interfaces for controlling and monitoring your hardware
projects from your iOS and Android device. After downloading the Blynk app, you
can create a project dashboard and arrange buttons, sliders, graphs, and other
widgets onto the screen. Using the widgets, you can turn pins on and off or display data from sensors.
Whatever your project is, there are
likely hundreds of tutorials that make the hardware part pretty easy, but building the software interface
is still difficult. With Blynk, though, the software side is even easier
than the hardware. Blynk is perfect for interfacing with simple projects like
monitoring the temperature of your fish tank or turning lights on and off remotely. Personally, I’m using it to control
RGB LED strips in my living room.
Currently, Blynk supports most Arduino
boards, Raspberry Pi models, the ESP8266, Particle Core, and a handful of other
common microcontrollers and single-board computers, and more are being added
over time. Arduino Wi-Fi and Ethernet shields are supported, though you can
also control devices plugged into a computer’s USB port as well.
Connection
of LED:
Led have two terminals, first is
positive terminal and second is Negative Terminal. The Negative Terminal is
connected to the Ground pin of ESP8266 module and Positive Terminal is
connected to the 220ohm Resistance and the other side of resistance is
connected to the D2 pin of ESP8266 Module.
