Blink Time Control with Slider

[Turbou]

Hello,
best wishes from Germany .
I need help with my little Projekt.
I want to blink a Digital Output (DO23) if Button V0 is ON and control the Blink ON Time with Slider V1 (0sec.-5sec.) and Blink OFF Time with Slider V2 (0sec.-5sec.)
But if i do it like that, the LED ist permanent ON. How can i control the delay time withe the Slider?

Best wishes,
Patrick

    ein=HIGH;

    Serial.println(ein);
    
}

    else { ein=LOW;
    Serial.println(ein);}
  
    }

  //reads the slider value when it changes in the app

 if (ein == HIGH) {
        digitalWrite(23, HIGH);
    delay(hell);
    digitalWrite(23, LOW);
    delay(dunkel);
    }

Keep your void loop() clean

Search for “blink without delay” on google.
Set the blink delay / interval with slider.

You’re doing a number of things wrong,

In addition to the cluttered void loop and use of blocking delays, your dunkel and hell variables are being declared globally, then re-declared in your BLYNK_WRITE(V1) and BLYNK_WRITE(V2) callback functions…

@Turbou

int hell = param.asInt();

@Turbou

int dunkel = param.asInt();

the int command before these param.asInt() commands is re-declaring these variables locally, and preventing the widget values from being visible outside of the callback functions.

You should probably use lambda timeout timers instead of delays to implement the mark-space ratio for flashing your LED. See the “Timeout Timers” section of this topic for more info…

Using BlynkTimer or SimpleTimer

Many users seem to struggle with the basic concepts of using BlynkTimer in their projects, despite the excellent discussions and tutorials that exist on this forum, so I thought I’d write a guide that will hopefully help clarify things. It’s rather long, as it attempts to explain the reasoning behind why and how we use timers, and covers some more advanced subjects, but I’ve tried to organise it in a way that helps people to find answers to specific questions… Why use a timer at all? Let’s say …

Hello Pete,
thank you for your help.
I try to understand it but i dont
Maybe you can change my code so that it work?

I’d suggest that you take some time to improve your C++ coding skills so that you are able to stand things like variable scope and the use of timeout timers.
