    EXCELLENT video. You explained it in a way no one was able to explain it on any other video or forum I visited. It's actually quite simple. People tend to start by diving into applications right away without going over the basics. You went over the basics, and now it's for us to figure out the numerous applications! Thanks.

    I have played with electronic projects for years just for fun during the long cold winters. I play with the Basic Stamp and A/D converters, temp sensors, easy things like that. I have always wanted to learn how to build and use the basic circuit building blocks that make up a real circuit. Over the years my interest in electronics has faded a 'bit' (see what I did there?).
    I had to buy an oscilloscope for work and was doing some research when I ran across your videos on the shift registers.
    You explain everything is such a way that it is easy to understand. I'm excited to watch more of your videos. Tonight's project is to dig out all of my electronic parts and get to work on your shift register project. I know I have some 595's just not sure why I ever bought them.....
    Thanks a zillion!!

    Great video once again, I wish I saw this video when I was still wrapping my head around these. I love them too, the limits of how much you can drive from a microcontroller just skyrockets. What would be fun to mention is that you also have shift in registers(parralel in, serial out) so you can have lots of inputs(digital). Hopefully we will learn more on other chips.

  • @deltaray3
    @deltaray3 Před 10 lety

    Fantastic video! Thanks. The question that brought me here is exactly what you demonstrated at the end, that you fill up the register before doing the latch. So really its like building a frame in an animation. You build a frame, then display it. Other videos make it seem like all you can do is shift one bit on at a time, which would really limit what you can do.

I also used two 8-bit parallel to serial shift registers for the road sensor/ pedestrian crosswalk buttons. Someday I will upload a video with the whole project.

    Really nice to see a video, regardless of it being older, talking about shift registers and not including on microcontroller. If you are able to do a lot of stuff without microcontroller than you can just absolutely do killer stuff when you start using them! As a very stereotypical example, just a simple LED Chaser circuit, doing it with couple quad comparator chips , shift registers stuff like that is going to teach you so much more than diving straight into microcontrollers and microprocessors! If you get it even halfway decent understanding of operational amplifiers, latches and flip flops, miscellaneous 7400/5400 series chips or even 4000 series stuff and understand how to combine them together and so on and so forth -- it just allows you quite literally make whatever you want, even with just going a pic16 chip :-)

Until recently I was a complete dummy and despite all other good articles one needs a teacher in front of the blackboard. My goal is to build the 8x8x8 RGB LED cube. But, as I have read, it may not work! So I needed some more understanding of all the different parts and all the acabadrabra. Thanks to your videos I have learned a lot. They Are Fabulous!!
