Hello
I'm trying to write a "more efficient" library for the 74HC595 shift registers.
I was trying to make a function "update( device )" which would update only the byte of the specified shift register. But I feel that, by design, the shift registers do not allow that, and that I'm forced to update the bytes of every registers in the chain, even if I just change a single bit of a single shift register.
Am I right assuming I can't update a single shift register?
Note: I don't totally understand how those shift registers work, I'm just rewritting an existing library
