Hi to all
i have test blykn in this day and is very fantastic…i have a simple question
If i press a button in ON status, i need to start relay for 10 sec and stop for 20 sec…start for 10 sec and stop for 20 sec (in loop) if i switch in off…i stop loop
someone I can 'help by showing me the correct syntax about code?
Thanks very much
Got no time to test this myself, this should be added to your code with appropriate libraries
this is NOT A FULLY FUNCTIONAL CODE
You need libraries and Blynk code but the logic to your request should be covered by the code below.
EDIT, i missed the “off for 20 seconds” part, that requiers another timer calling the same function.
SimpleTimer timer;
int relayPin = 0; // adjust accordingly
int timerNo; // ID of timer to start stop
int onState = 0; // 1 is On 0 is Off
int onTime = 10; // seconds
int offTime = 20; // seconds
boolean isOn = false; // toggle flag for relay
void setup()
{
timerNo = timer.setInterval(onTime * 1000L, onOffToggler); // Do function every 10 sec, if enabled
timer.disable(timerNo); // start disabled
// After blynk configs etc make sure that you start off with "off state"
Blynk.virtualWrite(V0, onState);
}
// Set button to switch mode
BLYNK_WRITE(V0)
{
onState = param.asInt();
if (onState == 1)
timer.enable(timerNo); // Turn on
else
timer.disable(timerNo); // Turn off
}
// MCU operations
void onOffToggler()
{
timer.deleteTimer(timerNo);
if (!isOn)
{
digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
timerNo = timer.setInterval(onTime * 1000L, onOffToggler);
isOn = true;
}
else
{
digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
timerNo = timer.setInterval(offTime * 1000L, onOffToggler);
isOn = false;
}
}
void loop()
{
//Dont forget your Blynk.run() etc....
timer.run();
}
@Gunner @Lichtsignaal lend me your eyes did I miss anything ^^? Bit tired
Looks quite alright to me. I’m a bit in a personal crisis, so my brain isn’t running at 100% either.
If it’s more serious than that the cat(s) literarly got your tounge, I hope you solve it! Never fun being in a crisis. Good luck! 
Thanks very very much…buy i have a error…what is this ?
Boolean isOn = false; // toggle flag for relay
Read here about boolean
Apologies should apparently be a small b, edited code
Thanks! i have a error…
error: ‘isOn’ was not declared in this scope
if (!isOn)
^
exit status 1
‘Boolean’ does not name a type
Ahh perfect thanks…now i have a last error …
expected unqualified-id before ‘{’ token
Probably a misplaced bracket or missing clsoing bracket somewhere. Those are the worst errors to debug.
These are simple C++ compile errors.
You need to check over your code for extra brackets.
Ok now work all very good!
thanks very very very much!!
Not to steal the Lufkin’s tread - but is it possible to use several timers (SimpleTimer) objects on a Nano board?
I tried declaring multiple timers, but using more than one crashes the board continuously.
Used a method aprox. like this:
#include <SimpleTimer.h>
SimpleTimer timer;
int t1 = 1;
int t2 = 2;
void setup(){
t1 = timer.setInterval(5000L, tf1);
t2 = timer.setTimeout(12000L, tf2);
}
void tf1(){
//do something..
}
void tf2(){
//do something..
}
void loop(){
Blynk.run();
timer.run();
Haven’t been able to finde an NANO example with multiple timer-objects. Has anyone tried something similar?
BR
Can you further define “crashes”? A Nano is going to run similar to an UNO, so it is more likely your code is incorrect or something else is the issue, not just because it is a nano.
Can you paste your actual code instead of your aprox example?
I think your issue might be in how you have set yours up: e.g. tx = timer…
Here is how I have mine, running fine on an Mega, Uno and Pro Micro
#include <SimpleTimer.h>
SimpleTimer timer;
void setup(); {
timer.setInterval(500L, AnalogSensors); // Misc analog sensors on CodeShield
timer.setInterval(500L, whiteLED); // White LED on CodeShield
timer.setInterval(1000L, thermTemp); // Thermistor on CodeShield
timer.setInterval(1000L, clockDisplay); // Time and Date Widget
timer.setInterval(2000L, sendUptime); // Up Time Widget
timer.setInterval(5000L, sendTempHum); // DHT11 sensor read
}
void loop()
{
Blynk.run(); // Run internal Blynk functionality.
timer.run(); // Run timers
}
Yes by crashes I mean reboots. Starts up, goes into setup-loop, runs the code for some seconds and reboots - over and over.
The App tell me the device was disconnected every time. Led’s and println tells me that it restarts.
Thourght it might be a matter of resources on the board.
Will paste code.
Code not complete since I never got that version with timers working.
Difference to your example is that I have several timer-objects (instances of Timer) not just one Timer (timer)…
/*
PIN 3 = DHT
PIN 6 = Power Realy
PIN 7 = "Connection Lost"-warrning LED
PIN 13 = Work in pprogress - onboard LED
PIN A0 = Light sensor
VPIN V0 = Light
VPIN V1 = Humidity
VPIN V2 = Temeparature
Your basic bathroom ventilation controller - MMonitor humidity and light.
By light-change to over 100, trig relay after 5 min., after light-change to below 100 reset relay after 5.
If humidity is abowe 60%, trig relay until humidity is 50% - set timer for 1h - if relay stille active send pushnotification.
Send monitoring data to blynk and allow for remote manually override.

Try this instead…
timer.setInterval(5000L, tf); // Here you set interval and which function to call (time, function)
timer.setTimeout(120000L, relayOff); // 2-min lights timeout to fan-start
timer.setTimeout(3600000L, relayOff); // Timer set to 1 hour
Yes I can do that and that works - however I want to be able to restart the timers and suspend them independently.
Like this?
int t1;
t1 = timer.setTimeout(120000L, relayOff);
timer.disable(t1);
timer.enable(t1);
timer.toggle(t1);
