Blynk Timer Questions

[Gunner]

Yes, as @Fettkeewl said… same only different It works the exact same way, but without needing to include a separate library… and while possibly works either way, change from SimpleTimer timer; to BlynkTimer timer; in pre-setup.

Blynk Library v0.4.7 is released [Arduino, Energia, Particle, MBED, OpenWrt]

So in the Documents it is called BlynkTimer… but you are saying that instead of using something like #include <BlynkTimer.h> we just keep using #include <SimpleTimer.h>? How does that work if we also use the SimpleTimer library in non-Blynk sketches… did you replace it (but call it the same thing) or merge something new into the original?

You don’t need to include anything, just use it. If SimpleTimer.h header is included, it will either get ignored (BlynkTimer will be actually used) or emit a warning that you should move to BlynkTimer (for specific cases). This is made for compatibility reasons. BTW, documentation is updated.

And of course, a single BlynkTimer object allows to schedule up to 16 timers, instead of only 10.
