Yeah this code is just to see if that short hand stuff will cycle the anodes, i just dont know why it wont display......
const int oe = 10;
void setup(){
pinMode(oe, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(oe, LOW);
SPI.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
}
...
The board is working perfectly, the octals are acting just like shift registers. but the oe isnt working, they are all connected though.
SPI.begin does this amongst other thing:
digitalWrite(SS, HIGH);
SS is pin 10. So your oe has gone high again.
