SPI script for shift register 74HC4094 (arduino UNO)

Other Hardware LEDs and Multiplexing
1

Hello Ladys and Gentlemen,

I'm a new guest here and I search for the arduino forum in german. there existed one before: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=deutsch
But I trie to ask my question in english. I want to drive my LEDs with the shift register "74HC4094". You find the data-sheet in attachment. Therefore I wrote the very simple code, but yet it doesn't work! The top of the shift register is on the left side in the photo. No LED lights up.
On the right photo you can see that two control lamps are shining. Is all right with my arduino? Wath's the problem?

PS: Can somebody show me how to use the hardware SPI of my arduino UNO? There's a library for SPI but I don't understand how it works.

Thank you for your help!

madworm, I am not sure if this is going to help him if he doesn't understand the SPI library in the first place :wink:

DasQuadrom:
There is a german subforum right here, just scroll down a bit further.
When posting code use the code tag (# button in editing window).

I don't think your last line of code is really what you meant it to be:

pinMode(freigabeOE, LOW); //Freigabe Ausgangsregister

Didn't you rather mean

digitalWrite(freigabeOE, LOW); //Freigabe Ausgangsregister

Check the playground for SPI examples and come back if you have any more questions after that.

Hope that helps.
Tom

Well, the thing is: using hardware SPI is so darn easy (sending at least), he doesn't need the library at all. 8)

Hallo again
I tried my best with madworm's code but it didn't work yet.

TomS:
Didn't you rather mean

digitalWrite(freigabeOE, LOW); //Freigabe Ausgangsregister

Right - Thank you! But it still doesn't work. =(
Do you have an idea wath is wrong?

TomS:
Check the playground for SPI examples and come back if you have any more questions after that.

Yes I'll do that! Do you know a good tutorial for the basics of SPI with arduino?
Thank you for your help!

nice wishes

Now I have tested my simple first code with an other IC: "M74HC595B1R". Why doesn't it work?

How have you wired it up?

That code does not use the SPI interface it just tries to bit bang the data. It is very poorly written code just having nearly the same thig over an over again.

When you post code you must select it and use the # icon otherwise the forum software can scramble bits of it.

How have you got these shift resisters wired up, pleas post a schematic along with your code.

4 years too late, but you've connected freigabeOE, arduino pin 10, to QS1 instead of OE on the 4094

You never know ... :roll_eyes:
