Programming Logic (Shift Registers)

ahhh, ok which I am in a round about doing anyway (yes it's a 74hc) ..

Since there's no array of "bits"... you see my for loop, well it does more or less just that.

 for(byte n2=0; n2<MaxShiftRegisters+1; n2++)
   {
      if (chip==n2)
         shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, MSBFIRST, b);    //once we get to register 3, place the contents of b into 
       else 
         shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, MSBFIRST, bp2);  //bp2 = B00000000
   }

if (chip==n2)
// this is not going to work is it, because let's suppose

In > shiftreg1
In > shiftreg1 > shiftreg2
In > shiftreg1 > shiftreg2 > shiftreg3

so now, we put the value we want in, it has to go to the first shiftregister1 - then i have to ..

ok i'll have to rethink the code or find an example :slight_smile:
