TPIC6B595 Troubles

Thanks for the reply, glad I'm at least starting to get this...

You said "Connect OE/ to Gnd, or drive it low with an arduino pin", I don't see an OE on the datasheet. Forgive me if it is a standard term, my background is in programming.

I don't have any 100nF/0.1uF caps right now, is it critical for this to work or is it more for balancing?

Thanks.
