Shift out a byte of data, one bit at a time.
Library Documentation¶void shiftOut(uint8 dataPin, uint8 clockPin, uint8 bitOrder, uint8 value)
Shift out a byte of data, one bit at a time.
This function starts at either the most significant or least significant bit in a byte value, and shifts out each byte in order onto a data pin. After each bit is written to the data pin, a separate clock pin is pulsed to indicate that the new bit is available.
Parameters:Pin to shift data out on
Pin to pulse after each bit is shifted out
Either MSBFIRST (big-endian) or LSBFIRST (little-endian).
Value to shift out
This is a software implementation. There is also a hardware SPI library available which will be faster and consume less CPU cycles than this function.
Note that the dataPin and clockPin must already be configured to OUTPUT mode by a call to pinMode().
Also note that since shiftOut() outputs 1 byte (8 bits) at a time, it requires multiple steps to output values larger than 255.
Examples¶To use these examples, replace dataPin and clockPin with the numbers of the pins you want to use:
/* MSBFIRST example */ uint16 data = 500; // shift out high byte shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, MSBFIRST, (data >> 8)); // shift out low byte shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, MSBFIRST, data); /* LSBFIRST serial */ data = 500; // shift out low byte shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, LSBFIRST, data); // shift out high byte shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, LSBFIRST, (data >> 8));Arduino Tutorial Example¶
This Arduino example runs unmodified on the Maple. For accompanying circuit, see the tutorial on controlling a 74HC595 shift register.
