Keeps giving me "expected primary-expression before '{' token"

keeps giving me “expected primary-expression before ‘{’ token” errors. rather new to Arduino and programming so I’m unsure as to what I’m doing wrong exactly. I appreciate any help.

Your opening and closing curly brackets don’t match.

But, when you fix that the code won’t work well because of all the blocking delays in your code.

@PeteKnight

all the blocking delays

I think we should make our beloved Blynk to work with the all time favourite delay !! Thats sooooo yummy

Everyone loves delay !!

This seems like opting for extra toppings on pizza

Have you not learnt how to use millis() as a method of timing?
