Clock Out Signal

[skimask]

My first dabble in PIC programming was to create a Serial circuit with multiple PIC16F84A chips. I chained the PICs together and sent the same Serial Out data to every chip. I was able to light up any LED on PortA of any slave chip from one driver PIC using serout/serin.

I am now trying to send data to a bunch of 74HC4094 Shift registers instead.

I have not written any code as yet as I am trying to work out which pins to connect. the only one I am not sure about is how I get a clock signal from the PIC16F84A chip to provide the CK clock for the shift register. I have heared mention of using RA3 which has a real time clock connection or RA6 as it is used for serial programming (of the PIC I think though) or do i connect to the ClockOUT OCS2 pin as this is being used by my 4Mhz crystal....

Any ideas. Thanks in advance.

If you use OSC2 as an output, you won't have any control over it. It'll just run and run and run whether or not you've got data to shift or not.
Use SHIFTOUT. That way you can define both your clock and your data pin and have complete control over what they do, when they do it, and how they do it, and you can latch and enable the outputs with seperate pins on top of that. See the green book - section 5.76
