[SOLVED] Connection lost at 50 seconds (controlling Stepper Motor)

I do not think it’s possible to use a timer with such a short interval.

Not easily with Blynk… conflicting timing requirements between Stepper management and IoT communication.

I have been able to get around that with a dual MCU approach; One for the stepper and one for the Blynk interface/control…

Turning "Old" Arduinos into Perfectly Usable IoT Devices

Dual MCU communication with EasyTransfer And some simple, unrefined, demo code running Blynk on a ESP8266 that is sending control signals to an Arduino that is running a stepper motor. Code for ESP8266 - Running Blynk and sending control info to Arduino over Serial #include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h> // For Blynk #include <ESP8266WiFi.h> // For Blynk & OTA #include <ESP8266mDNS.h> // For OTA #include <WiFiUdp.h> // For OTA #include <ArduinoOTA.h> // For OTA #include <EasyTransfer.h> // …
