Timer conflict(?) between UNO and nRF8001

[TreasureHunter]

Dear members!

I followed the tutorial of the nRF8001, and tried this code:learn.adafruit.com/.../nrf-uart-in-detail

It worked for me just fine, but...

I have an existing metal detector code for Arduino UNO that uses Timer0 and Timer1 and interrupts. just the metal detector alone also works fine.

Than I tried to merge the metal detector's code with the nRF8001 tutorial code, you can take a look at the result here: http://pastebin.com/eQAR6h6V

So my problem is that this is not working when they are merged, maybe some timer conflict? How can I set Timer2 to the SCK pin? Or something else is the problem? Once again, they worked individually just fine, but together...not.

This project is due 05-09 midnight, so its quite urgent, any help is appreciated!

Regards, TreasureHunter

Are you getting any indications why it is not working? Is BTLEserial.write called? what is returned from BTLEserial.write? etc...

As far as I can see the adafruite library isn't using any timer. Why do you suspect that this is a timer conflict?

When I run the program, it doesn't even reach the loop() cycle, because the serial.print("TEST3") doesn't print out at the beginning. I though it's a timer problem because nRF8001 uses a clock at SCK pin, so I though it needs a timer of some sort.

I call BTLEserial.write in the end of the code, but we doesn't reach that, because it doesn't even starts to advertise.

I have heared about the bug that is somehow connected with newest IDE. As other people were saying (i have not experienced that by myself! maybe because i am not using arduino at all.) program may be stuck when you have USB cable plugged in board and serial monitor is closed. Could you try restarting serial monitor?

I tried the tutorial code again, it works fine, I then tried the code in the "pastebin" again, nothing.. I put a Serial.print("TEST"); before cli() in setup() stage, and put Serial.print("TEST1"); after sei().

The result was: a "T" appeared in the serial monitor, nothing more.. so the problem must be between cli() and sei() with those registers or something.. I don't get it..
