No problem.
If you are using the Wemos D1 Mini or D1 Mini Pro (my favourite boards for most simple applications) then you might want to read this…

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 ).
