Arduino Shift Regsiters

#1 Post by defl8rMaus »

I'd like to incorporate more than the 13 pin inputs allowed on an arduino. Are there plans to incorporate shift register libraries for input (74HC165) and output (74HC595) or incorporate a way to read serial or parallel code from another source instead of tying certain pins to input/output devices (e.g. rotary encoders, toggle switches, push buttons, etc.)

It’s been said several times that the AM philosophy does not involve using a mux. Arduino boards themselves are reasonably cheap and many can be used. The alternative is to use the provided message port to interface to non natively supported hardware such as I2C, SPI, shift registers and multiplexers etc.

You have the choice.

Not more than 13 inputs allowed? That's new to me...
