Hi!

do anybody know if the shiftout() function of the arduino can be used with serial-in shift register? I see that the arduino uses the SPI protocol, do the ICs like 74HC594/595 use the same protocol?

thank you very much for your help,
bye!!

the arduino playground has examples for using serial in and out shift registers.

as far as i know they dont use the spi interface. just bit-banging.
