use 74HC595 to control 16 led?

[Jakkawad]

how to call second 74HC595 pin? can use 'pin9'?

Use provided shiftRegisters(num) in initialization:

shiftRegisters(2)
digitalWrite(9, HIGH)

this does work for me

So far I successfully linked 4 registers... planning to link 8 :P

how do you connect the second shift register?? please somebody help me i need 20 output

Hi, here you can see how you can connect 2 registers. Though its for arduino it works perfectly for Rpi pin voltage levels. Adding more registers as simple as chaining them

HELP!!! look what my program in python say it! Traceback (most recent call last): File "tres.py", line 9, in shiftRegisters(2) NameError: name 'shiftRegisters' is not defined

[chapunazar]

make sure you are importing correctly shiftpi and also try with shiftpi.shiftRegisters(2)
