If I turn the microcontroller on, at first the lights are black/off.
By pushing the button it turns GREEN but it is not blinking. Pushing again the leds turn RED. Pushing again it is black/off. Then red - green - red - off - red - green - red - off and so on.

Where is the issue? It does not blink and remains in one color as long as the button is pressed again. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
