Typo in schematics (74HC595 pinout)
Pin 13 on the 74HC595 chips (the output enable pin, OE) is labeled as "G", and pin 8 (the ground pin, GND) is not labeled. Both Pin 8 (GND) and Pin 13 (OE) need to be tied to ground for this design to work properly.
I saw "G" tied to ground and assumed that was referring to ground, and didn't give it a second thought. a couple hours later with the oscilloscope I finally figured out why it wasn't working for me- my OE pins were floating because I wasn't paying attention.
It's my own fault for not paying attention, but I'm submitting this just incase someone else has the same issue.
