DMD library, RTC and Ethernet with Arduino Uno?

[dogank]

Hello:!: ,

I am using DMD library and also ds1307. It works with I2C protocol. I am going to use ethernet to communicate with dmd p10 panels. As i read, people says different things. It works or not works.

I am not using DMD2 library. I am using DMD library. Can i use ethernet module + dmd panel + rtc? with arduino uno. I will use ENC28J60 Ethernet - LAN module (its image: https://prnt.sc/t4sfra). I am worried about conflict of dmd and ethernet because both of them use spi and arduino uno has only one spi. I can not be able to change dmd pins to Analog pins because A4 and A5 pins are connected to I2C that i use.

Regards,
Dogan

The DS1307 just uses I2C, the DMD library uses timerone and SPI, and they will play nicely together. The ENC28160 appears to use SPI as well but you will not be able to share the SPI buss as the DMD does not use a chipselect though the ENC28160 does. There may be options available to you for another SPI on the Uno such as this one.
No experience with the ENC28160 so there may be other conflicts as well.

I can't see anything on the dmd panel when i add ethercard code. Without ethernet i can type something on dmd p10 panels. Where is my mistake? At the ether.begin function i write 10 for spi chip select even thought i can't see any text on panels.
