Hello!

I'm new in the arduino platform, i need some help for make my qt113 talk to the
 74HC595 Shift out register.

i made the tutorial : http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ShiftOut

and everything is working fine but now i want to connect this to my qt113 circuit

this two circuits works fine       Independent.      
I'm trying to get all working in the same circuit whit the same code.

please some help here!

here is the code
the only modifications i made from the origial code are the inputPin and the val

sorry for the terrible english and the really bad skills for programing

//Pin connected to ST_CP of 74HC595
int latchPin = 8;
//Pin connected to SH_CP of 74HC595
int clockPin = 12;
////Pin connected to DS of 74HC595
int dataPin = 11;
/// QT113
int inputPin = 2;
/// QPROX Status
int val = 0;            
 
//holders for infromation you're going to pass to shifting function
byte dataRED;
byte dataGREEN;
byte dataArrayRED[10];
byte dataArrayGREEN[10];
 
void setup() {
  //set pins to output because they are addressed in the main loop
  pinMode(latchPin, OUTPUT);
  // declare pushbutton as input
  pinMode(inputPin, INPUT);      
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  //Arduino doesn't seem to have a way to write binary straight into the code  
  //so these values are in HEX.  Decimal would have been fine, too.  
  dataArrayRED[0] = 0xFF; //11111111
  dataArrayRED[1] = 0xFE; //11111110
