Remove virtual LCD blink #20

Closed structure7 closed 8 years ago

structure7 commented 8 years ago

Can probably just "freeze" this readout until a blower state change.

Group the lcd.prints in a separate if-then group (or maybe separate timer alltogether) than the 

onHour24 = hour();
onHour = hourFormat12();
onMinute = minute();
onSecond = second();
onMonth = month();
onDay = day();

4/20: Trying to move this into void loop() to see what happens.

I think is is the same as issue #14

May need to use Blynk.syncVirtual(vPin) per http://docs.blynk.cc/#blynk-firmware-virtual-pins-control-blynksyncall

structure7 commented 8 years ago

Really need to ask Blynk community how to do this. It's lcd.clear() that's causing the problem but I don't know how to get rid of it and not have LCD display issues.

Or, see if a "run once" lcd.clear will be effective. Or, spacing characters printing to lcd so they always take the same real estate (overwrite previous). Will require more troubleshooting but less code.

Chart it out:
