ESP8266: getting disconnected after adding analog input

Solved
1

hello:
using WeMOS-D1 mini, I made a small project with 5 outputs, 4 digital inputs and one analog input.
it run OK with digital widgets. when I add “labeled value” for analog input I got “device was disconnected” and communication stops
Any help is appreciated.

My program:

Maximum of 100 commands per second, you have thousands because you are wrongly using loop().

You must time your events, see PUSH_DATA example as a guide.

@gvnl Here is some relevant documentation… and more can be found at http://help.blynk.cc/

Excerpt from this document…

Avoiding the void

:point_up: :fire: :warning: VERY IMPORTANT: You can’t send sensor data in your void loop()

– Why?
– Because Blynk sends data over the Internet, and when you put something into void loop(), your microcontroller will execute it :scream_cat: gazillion number of times. Which means that Blynk Cloud will be flooded with gazillion messages from your hardware.

And when Blynk Cloud notices that, it automatically :scissors:︎ cuts your connection. Sorry…

– OK, what should I do then?
– Send sensor data in intervals!
