Hello all im new to the pic basic so be easy on me. I am trying to interface a standard 74hc165 parallel to serial shift register to a pic 12f629 im using GPIO.0 as CLK OUT , GPIO.2 as the DATA INPUT pin and a push button to load the parallel inputs on the 74hc165 via the Serial Shift/ Parallel Load pin, I have a 8 bit dip switch connected to the parallel port of the 74hc165 with 4.7k pullups and ground when switch contact is closed. I have looked at the SERIN and HSERIN and just havent had any luck yet.
