Shiftout Module

Hi
my two shiftout modules have just arrived and I wanted to try them out .
I did a search on this forum and found a post on how to use 2 modules together to shift 16 bits.
https://www.dfrobot.com/forum/index.php? ... 112#msg112
The above search result contained ...
#define SCLK 35 // (1) DFR0072 ShiftOut SCLK Serial-Clock Input
#define DIN 31 // (5) DFR0072 ShiftOut DIN Serial-Data Input
#define iCS 33 // (3) DFR0072 ShiftOut /CS Chip-Select Input set low to receive data, set high to output data
I think I understand what the code is doing but am confused by the choice of pin numbers. My arduino doesnt have that many pins so I am guessing he is using the arduino 2560 which has the extra pins.
Will it be ok to use my Uno instead and can I choose more or less any 3 digital pins for the outputs for
SCLK , DIN and iCS
Regards
Don
Did you try searching our wiki. It contains plenty of sample codes and wiring instructions.

These are all using the same shift out module. The product page also contains sample codes and a link to the wiki.

Happy hacking!

You can change the numbers if you want. On my uno I usually uses 10, 11 and 12. But it does not change if you use some other pins.
