Hello,

I installed a Wishield 2.0 on my Arduino Mega and got it working well. Now I want to add a timer in my sketch.
I can get my timer to work if I inhibit the WiFi.init() in my setup function. But I can't get both working at the same time.

I guess the WiShield 2.0 stack is messing with the interrupt, but I can't find any information on the subject.

Are there people here that got a simple timer working with the WiShield ?

Thanks for your help !

Note :
I am using Eclipse to build my project.
I tried to setup the timer 5 directly in my code, the issue is the same, it's working without the wishield.

I regularly use MSTimer2 on a Duemilanove/WiShield and it works fine. I have also messed around and used different timers (namely the 16 bit timer on the 328) and that seemed to work fine - but I don't recall the details of that right now I think it was part of the IR remote control code that was being worked on and documented on the forum.

Thanks for the info. I had a look on the code and it seems it's using the PWM function of TimerOne.
I want to use the overflow interrupt of the timer (-> call an isr every x ms).

I think I got the wishield and the servo library working a few weeks ago, since the servo lib uses timers, it should work.
I'll try again tonight with the WiShield and a Servo.

If you have an example of the wishield and a timer ISR, let me know

Thanks for your help.

Apparently the issue was coming from Eclipse.
I cleaned my project, compiled the WiShield Library as a library in Eclipse and everything is working now.

Thanks for the help.
