Connecting Arduino mega and ESP-01 to Blynk app

I’d suggest using a different hardware like esp32 or nodemcu instead.

I’d try changing this…

to each of the standard baud rates from 9600 onwards and see if any of them work. Otherwise buy yourself an FTDI or ESP-01 to USB adapter and you’ll be able to work-out what’s happening when you boot the device. You’ll also need this if you need to update the firmware.

However, as @John93 has said, you’d be better-off abandoning this prehistoric hardware and going for an ESP8266 or ESP32 if that’s possible.

The cost of doing that would probably be less than an FTDI adapter.

Pete.
