Shiftin pic18f452

[TonyA]

Hi,

I am using pic18f452 and want to connect a 4021B shift register to it.

The shift reg is paralell input (switches) and serial output ----> to the pic.

Now I see that in the pic manual the pic would accept two parameters from the shift register; clock and data.

*However, the 4021B shift register also has a "Latch" pin. Would I just connect the 4021's latch pin to a pin on the pic, and make that pin on the pic toggle high or low?

Thanks for any help.

Here is a snippet.

In this case the Load would be the same as your Latch.

Clock   var PORTB.7
Load    var PORTB.6
Data_1  var PORTB.5
'###########
pulsout Load,1
shiftin Data_1,Clock,MSBPre,[keys]

Ok, I see. Thanks very much.

It's been awhile since I worked with picbasic pro. I get an error with:

Clock var PORTB.7
Load var PORTB.6
Data_1 var PORTB.5


Don't know why.

Thanks.

Fixed, I think. I had some kind of conflict with the pin assignments. (I think).

Thanks again.

What is the error?
is there more to your code? do you like guessing games?

Yes, I am a smart _ _ _ ..

EDIT>>>
I need to see if a post was made while I am typing. Or type faster...

Sorry. I have it all fixed now using your code above. I was pasting it into some old code and wasn't paying attention.

I'll post my code when I get it finished.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it very much.
