Not looking for sympathy, just saying this may not be the most ‘polished’ ible you’ve read. I ran across Blynk on Kickstarter after the campaign had closed. I thought it sounded cool and quickly downloaded the app to my iPhone…where it sat…staring at me…for months. Today, I decided to do something about it. I love the Arduino platform and have done many projects using various shapes and sizes (moteino anyone?) I had an Uno lying around looking lonely. I pulled an ethernet shield off of another project…stole a cat5 cable from another system in my shop and cobbled together what follows. What I thought may take an hour or several, turned out to really only take a few minutes. I hope you all find this to be at least somewhat helpful. For this little project, I used the following: Arduino Uno Arduino Ethernet Shield Mini Breadboard Green LED Red LED 2 100 Ohm resistors A few jumper wires Cat5 cable for ethernet USB cable for power/programming ## **Step 2: Wire It Up** [![Wire It Up](https://content.instructables.com/F66/1RGL/IOD4EFGQ/F661RGLIOD4EFGQ.png?auto=webp&frame=1&fit=bounds&md=f48b03cffb44bc9fc1ca99095c1aba66)](https://content.instructables.com/F66/1RGL/IOD4EFGQ/F661RGLIOD4EFGQ.png?auto=webp&frame=1&fit=bounds&md=f48b03cffb44bc9fc1ca99095c1aba66) [![Wire It Up](https://content.instructables.com/FTN/GJKG/IOCE8MQS/FTNGJKGIOCE8MQS.jpg?auto=webp&frame=1&width=525&height=1024&fit=bounds&md=2c1de040195815f85671fb2b88123890)](https://content.instructables.com/FTN/GJKG/IOCE8MQS/FTNGJKGIOCE8MQS.jpg?auto=webp&frame=1&width=1024&height=1024&fit=bounds&md=2c1de040195815f85671fb2b88123890) I ran jumpers from ground, pin 9 and pin 6 to the breadboard and placed the resistor(s) between the + (anode) and the signal jumper. ## **Step 3: Code It ..

Add a button and set it from the default of "push" to switch. The set the output pin ( I used pin 9 for the red LED ). Add a slider and associate it to your pin. Make sure it's a PWM pin ( I used pin 6 for the green LED ) I turned off the "send values on release only" setting as I wanted it to dim in real time. Click on the nut icon for project settings and send yourself the auth token. --- Source: https://maker.wiznet.io/WIZnet/projects/blynk-with-arduino/
