Using Blynk without SoftwareSerial

[Brian_yn]

Hi! First of all, thanks for reading.
I’m doing an Arduino Pro Mini project, which I want to integrate with Blynk using an HC-05. When finished, it won’t be connected to the PC, so the Serial port will be free. Can I use it with Blynk instead of using SoftwareSerial library? That way I can avoid unnecesary code.

Thank you a lot!

Sure… just code your HC-05 connection to Serial and pins 0 & 1 accordingly… but make sure to disconnect the HC-05 while uploading the sketch, and remove all Serial.print() statements, and the #define BLYNK_PRINT Serial, else there could be upload and connection errors.

Thank you very much, I’ll try it and let you know!
