RGB Status Codes
During setup, the RGB LED on the Blynk Board will be your window into its soul. The board uses this multi-colored LED to indicate all sorts of status modes. If you're ever unclear of what the RGB color-code means, consult the table below:
RGB Color | Blink Speed | Status | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Purple | ● | Medium (2Hz) | Device connected to Blynk Board | Verifies that your phone (or possibly someone else's) is connected to the Blynk Board. |
Blue | ● | Fast (4Hz) | Connecting to Wi-Fi network | After sending it the info, the Blynk Board will attempt to connect to your Wi-Fi network for up to 30 seconds. |
Blynk Green | ● | Slow (1Hz) | Connecting to Blynk Cloud | After connecting to your Wi-Fi network, the Blynk Board will establish a connection with the Blynk server. |
Blynk Green | ● | Smoothly fading in/out | Connected to Blynk | After successfully connecting to Wi-Fi and Blynk, this is the sign that everything is working! The LED will continue to "breathe" until you tell it to do something else. |
Yellow | ● | Slow (1Hz) | Re-connecting to Blynk | Connection issues should resolve themselves, but the Blynk board will likely be unresponsive while blinking yellow. If it continues to Blynk yellow for over a minute, try cycling power to the Blynk Board. |
White | ● | Medium (2Hz) | Blynk Board waiting for config | If your Blynk Board was unable to connect to either Wi-Fi or Blynk, it'll sit in this mode – waiting for you to press a button. More on this in the Reconfiguring a Blynk Board section |
