I am on the lower end of programing knowledge and was wondering if someone could help me out. I tried searching though the forms to find it on my own but I’m gonna break down and ask the easy way.
Problem. I want to start playing with the AtTiny85 chip. They are super cheap and look cool but have so few pins. I have found several ppl saying they have used them with shift registers. When we did this in class we just used a library and my teacher said this probably would simply carry over.
I want to start off by making a passkey program that uses a keypad to input a password and then kicks a small solenoid opening a box or something.
I’m not a programmer we just had one class on programing then one using the Arduino. So I’m pseudo proficient, the code is simple enough. I just don’t know anything about writing a library for the shift register or how that would work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated or just pointing me in the write direction.
Also I didn’t see any FAQ or new person thread to look
Do not cross post.
Do not write a library.
Look at the shift out tutorials in the learning section of this web site.
