Introduction To Arduino Microcontroller: Experiment 4: Leds and 74Hc595 Shift Register

This document describes an experiment using an Arduino microcontroller and 74HC595 shift register to control LEDs. The circuit connects the Arduino to the shift register and LEDs. The code uses three pins on the Arduino - data, clock, and latch - to serially shift bits out to the shift register. This allows controlling 256 LEDs using only 3 pins. The code loops through the numbers 0-255, sending each value to the shift register to light up the corresponding LED pattern. It also includes a function to individually control each LED.

int data = 2;
int clock = 3;
int latch = 4;
Declaration //Used for single LED manipulation
int ledState = 0;
const int ON = HIGH;
const int OFF = LOW;
void setup()
{
pinMode(data, OUTPUT);
pinMode(clock, OUTPUT);
pinMode(latch, OUTPUT);

}

void loop()
{
int delayTime = 100; //the number of milliseconds to delay between LED updates

Void Loop for(int i = 0; i < 256; i++){


updateLEDs(i);
delay(delayTime);
}
}
