Initial Chaser Testing

So that's 1 shift-register per color (each handles 8 LED's) and how many pins off the microcontroller?? 1 for clock, 1 for...hold? and I guess 1 for each shift-register?? I'm just curious. Thanks for any info you can send my way. -Joe

Just guessing:

If no PMW going on... three pins and 74HC595 in series ..... DATA, CLOCK, LATCH. Just shift in 24 bits.

Also could do it with five... DATA Red, DATA Green, DATA Blue, CLOCK and LATCH in parallel to the shift registers. This would take less clocks to shift in the RGB data.

Good job. Any chance I could get the schematic please?

WOAH !

Awesome work !

Can you send me the schematic? That was great!

hey there. what is a simple way to make one of these? im not very experienced in electronics but i REALLY want to learn

[bogyb666]

wow, where do you find the schematics or do you make them youreself?

[synthius]

LOOKS GOOD, how is it lookin now??

i see you are not using any transistors to current control the LEDs... were your shift registers able to output enough current to power them? or did you buy high-power shift registers?
