Blynk Update! You can now share your Blynk interface

Cloud

@Escko Thanks! I had to modify the code to get it working but it does indeed work :smiley:

It’s really awesome to be able to remotely see the serial print data on my phone from anywhere that I have a internet connection.

Here is the modified code to get it to run on the Photon.

Is there any way to resize the terminal widget size so I can see more of the incoming text? I can’t seem to change the size. The only thing I can do is choose to show or not show the input box for the terminal where no window gives you a little more room form incoming text.

I had to add this line of code to keep the Photon connected to the cloud because it was disconnecting after about 30 seconds because of the blocking “while loop in setup”. Adding “SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED)” fixed that.
