FastLED crashes Blynk when using Arduino and Esp8266 Wifi Module

[PeteKnight]

Have you considered dumping the big, under-powered and under-resourced Arduino boards and going for something smaller, cheaper, faster and with built-in Wi-Fi?

Which board should I choose for my first Blynk project?

I thought I’d write a piece about my thoughts on the best hardware to use for your IoT projects if you’re just starting-out with Blynk. I did what many people do, started-off buying an Arduino Uno and uploaded some code to make it flash an LED. After about 10 seconds of watching the LED flash I was bored, and wanted to do more (I have a short attention span ). The next task was getting the Uno connected to the internet and I chose the Ethernet Shield route. After around 6 months of m…
