I am fading....Oh...So help me..here guys, this are my sketches for my project..I upload the one that is broken for u guys to try it out...and maybe u guys can figure this thing out for me..
//Pin connected to ST_CP of 74HC595
int latch = 3; //14 green
//Pin connected to SH_CP of 74HC595
int clock = 2; //12 yellow
////Pin connected to DS of 74HC595
int data = 6; //11 blue
byte dataArrayRED[8];
void setup() //runs once
{
pinMode(data, OUTPUT);
pinMode(clock, OUTPUT);
pinMode(latch, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() // run over and over again
{
digitalWrite(latch, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(latch, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
When I upload it, it doesn;t blink as I had hoped it would be, it just stays "on" without any fades or blink. Hm.....
The only part that lights up now, is that one part. Oh no~~ when I try uploaded some other programs that I've alter from the internet, it shows the same results. How could that be???
//Pin connected to ST_CP of 74HC595
int latchPin = 3;
//Pin connected to SH_CP of 74HC595
int clockPin = 2;
////Pin connected to DS of 74HC595
int dataPin = 6;
//holder for infromation you're going to pass to shifting function
byte data = 0;
void setup() {
//set pins to output because they are addressed in the main loop
pinMode(latchPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
//function that blinks all the LEDs
//gets passed the number of blinks and the pause time
blinkAll_2Bytes(1,500);
// light each pin one by one using a function A
for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
//ground latchPin and hold low for as long as you are transmitting
digitalWrite(latchPin, 0);
//red LEDs
lightShiftPinA(7-j);
//green LEDs
lightShiftPinA(j);
//return the latch pin high to signal chip that it
//no longer needs to listen for information
digitalWrite(latchPin, 1);
delay(1000);
}
// light each pin one by one using a function A

}
//This function uses bitwise math to move the pins up

//this is line uses a bitwise operator
//shifting a bit left using << is the same
//as multiplying the decimal number by two.

//move 'em out

}
//This function uses that fact that each bit in a byte
//is 2 times greater than the one before it to
//shift the bits higher

//that it will be pin Q0 that lights.

//if the value passed to myDataOut and a bitmask result
// true then... so if we are at i=6 and our value is

}
else {

}

digitalWrite(myClockPin, 1);
//zero the data pin after shift to prevent bleed through
digitalWrite(myDataPin, 0);
}
//stop shifting
digitalWrite(myClockPin, 0);
}
//blinks both registers based on the number of times you want to
//blink "n" and the pause between them "d"
//starts with a moment of darkness to make sure the first blink
//has its full visual effect.
void blinkAll_2Bytes(int n, int d) {

Okay I give up. Maybe I'll try this after zohor prayer. Bye~~
