Sorry for my bad English.
I Have a simple code with 1 function.

The function is:

void blinking((int time, int color){
// colore = 1 == Red
   // colore = 2 == Yellow
   // colore = 3 == Red and  Yellow
  
  pinMode(RED, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(YELLOW, OUTPUT);
  
  
   for (int i = 0; i <= quanto; i++) {
     switch (colore) {
        case 1:
          digitalWrite(RED, HIGH);
          delay(1000);
          digitalWrite(RED, LOW);
          break;
        case 2:
          digitalWrite(YELLOW, HIGH);
          delay(1000);
          digitalWrite(YELLOW, LOW);
          break;
        case 3:
          digitalWrite(RED, HIGH);
          digitalWrite(YELLOW, HIGH);
          delay(1000);
          digitalWrite(RED, LOW);          
          digitalWrite(YELLOW, LOW);
          break;
        default:
          break;
          // if nothing else matches, do the default
          // default is optional
    }
    delay(1000);
}

This function works without problems until I put in my code these lines and after I recall my function "blinking", it doesn't work, but the call before this code it works


while (FLAG == 0){
        if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
            Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");              
        } else {
          FLAG=1;
        }
    }

Leds don't blink, why? can you help me?

Please can you post your whole program and put it in code tags (# above the smileys)
The problem may not actually be in your function at all but without seeing all of your code it is impossible to help.

There are notes in Italian.

What does it display on your Serial Monitor?
Does it ever print "Connessione = 1" ?

[Reply #4 on:]

If this is an Uno, you can't use D10-13 for LEDS when using the SPI. The ethernet shield uses the SPI bus for both the w5100 and uSD. Use other pins.

[Reply #5 on:]

tanks, that was the problem!
Where I can read info to understand if a pin it used from w5100?

[Reply #6 on:]

I use the product schematics. D4 is used by the uSD card if there is one in the slot. D2 is used on some for an interrupt line.

[Reply #7 on:]

Hi
I understand that D4 is used as the chip select for the SD card. what pin is used for the chip select of the W5100 chip?
Thanks
Don

what pin is used for the chip select of the W5100 chip?

Pin 10.
