virtual_write for map widget point updates

hi all. I'm struggling with this python lib trying to update points in a blynk app map/

I was reading https://community.blynk.cc/t/solved-maps-with-http-rest-api/15826/54 where a possible solution is to use that REST API to update.
Also https://community.blynk.cc/t/blynk-map-interface-update-from-blynk-library-python/27289 without a solution.

how I can update a map widget here with python lib, I fact I'm using an ESP32 running last official Micropython 1.15.
any hint?
thanks in advance.

More details, for the REST API get method vs a virtualWrite @ arduino, I compiled a c/arduino sketch and all worked right.
REST API I was trying this python code:
...
value = '60,1,-34.754129,-56.6964227,test1'
r = lib.urequests.get("http://192.168.1.2:8080/WXiw3UFznFCQxP3rcWpYZf9fV9ydNMYX/update/V60?value="+str(value))
...
it worked for a simple text input widget, not map.

For map, I also captured in input text wigget what was send to V60 virtual pin where I attached the widget map and get this:
'1,-34.754129,-56.6964227,test1'

But with Arduino I have got 0-34.507-56.128position#61 that seems the same but I note some control caracters between values like 0[non ascii]-34.507[non ascii]-56.128[non ascii]position#61

_#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp32.h>
char ssid[] = "PlantaAlta.2Ghz";
char pass[] = "************************";
char auth[] = "**************************NMYX";

WidgetMap myMap(V60);

void setup()
{
// Debug console
Serial.begin(115200);

Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass,IPAddress(192,168,1,2),8080);

int index = 0;
float lat = -34.5074;
float lon = -56.1278;

myMap.location(index, lat, lon, "position#2");

Blynk.virtualWrite(V61, 0, lat, lon, "position#61");
Serial.println( string(0), string(lat), string(lon), "position#61");
}

void loop()
{
Blynk.run();
}_

Hi Kindmartin!
Simple blynk.virtual_write(pin, 2, -33.754129, -56.6964227, 'test2') should work for you.
This should add point with certain location to map somewhere in Uruguay ))

When you can do it ( write value)?
Blynk.run means that here hidden auth connect , hadlers registration etc.
For example you can add value widget to display pin value each 10 sec

@blynk.handle_event('read V11')
def read_virtual_pin_handler(pin):
     blynk.virtual_write(pin, 2, -33.754129, -56.6964227, 'test2')

To learn more about lib implementation capabilities I suggest you to examine examples for different operations
and try to play with them - to get expertise for read/write pin calls
https://github.com/blynkkk/lib-python/tree/master/examples
Each example has great description and schema in header. I think they might be very helpful for your findings.

Thanks, Anto, I will re-try and update. I think I tested a lot before on blynk.virtual_write(pin, 2, -33.754129, -56.6964227, 'test2') and similar, but for an unknown something it doesn't works (probably due the usual silly reason I cannot see). I will update soon.

It worked.... thanks and sorry for taking time without more self testing,
btw, Im from Buenos Aires Argentina so those coordinates are some ones I wrote ramdombly.

one more thing before close this one. in arduino we can clean the widget map using myMap.clear() (related to WidgetMap myMap(Pin) )

how we could clean/delete old points ?

,M

Kindmartin!

how we could clean/delete old points ?
As I can see within https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/blob/master/src/WidgetMap.h

void clear() {
        Blynk.virtualWrite(mPin, "clr");
    }

Let's try this approach with python lib )) -> blynk.virtual_write(pin, "clr")

It worked charmingly!

Thanks Anto!

PD I still have to understand fix why I get some IOerrors when I try to virtual write vpins

updateBlynkLoc each 20 seg

now as a workaround I force to blynk.disconnect() then connect() then do the virtual writes.

Like:

lib. is a module where I just import libraries for this project

bkw. is another module where I have all hw related real pins declarations and class instances
fun. is just a module with all non task especific functions. That’s fun!

NameError: name 'IOError' isn't defined

Can be related to HW python specific.

I fact I'm using an ESP32 running last official Micropython 1.15

You mentioned micro_python - thus you need to import not c_python but micro_python lib in your script
