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.
