Shift1 System is a cheap and simple way to get lots of digital output pins and only needs 1 PIC pin to drive it.
Step 1: How It Works – the Simple System
Normally, serial-in parallel-out shift register ICs can be set up for 2 pin operation;
DAT – data, is the next bit to be shifted in
CLK – clock pulse, on / edge the next bit is shifted in
This can be “cheated” to just use one pin and timed-length pulse. An RC network is used to provide a time delay for the DAT line to change. Very short pulses mean that a 1 bit is shifted in. With a long enough pulse the DAT voltage drops low enough so that a 0 bit is shifted in when the CLK line goes / again.
