Why do I get kicked from Blynk server?

Need Help With My Project
1

Hi guys,
Have problems to progam a sketch, where a led fade automatically up and down, but where I can adjust the time with a slider, in which it does it. Below my sketch and the error I get in Serial Monitor, when I change timer interval. I don´t know why, but when I try to adjust the “speed” appear the error and I get kicked from Blynk server? It´s possible that it interrelate with the power supply (read something on web) but it would be strange, because until now I never had any problems with the power supply from my PC

#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial

  Blynk.run();
  timerSzene.run();
}

  Serial.begin(9600);
  Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);
  pinMode (LedPinD1, OUTPUT);
  timerID_Szene = timerSzene.setInterval(1000L, Func_Mode_Szene);

    timerSzene.deleteTimer(timerID_Szene);
    timerID_Szene = timerSzene.setInterval(1L / Control_Szene, Func_Mode_Szene);

    timerSzene.enable(timerID_Szene);
  }

  }

    } else {
      OutputValue_Szene = SzeneValue;
    }
    Serial.print("SzeneValue = ");
    Serial.println(SzeneValue);

Not sure your intent here, but dividing 1ms with whatever value you are getting from your widget is probably ending up with some very small numbers and strange calculations… this is probably your ESP crashing due to bad math, not a Blynk Server issue.

Exception (0): ...

indicates “IllegalInstructionCause”. Possibly division by zero in this case.
“1L / Control_Szene” will most likely also not result to a Long but a Float value and the timer expects Long.

In addition to all above (true): BlynkTimer has a resolution of 1ms (as it is millis() based) so you are trying to split the atom here - possible, but not with tools provided :smile:

Okay… I understand. I made it so (short calls of the loop), because want to get a "lowing fade up and down). Wan’t avoid to see the single steps :smile:
Thank you… and I wondered why it works, when slider was at 1 and by 2, I got kicked :see_no_evil::see_no_evil:

Ups, there someone have overlooked the part of the resolution in timer-description​:see_no_evil::see_no_evil:
Now it’s clear why it didn’t work
Thanks :ok_hand:
