adafruit-circuitpython-74hc595 1.3.10

CircuitPython driver for 74HC595 shift register.

Introduction

CircuitPython driver for 74HC595 shift register.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

• Bus Device

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-74hc595

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-74hc595

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-74hc595

Usage Example

import board
import adafruit_74hc595
import busio
import digitalio
import time

spi = busio.SPI(board.SCK, MOSI=board.MOSI)

latch_pin = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D5)
sr = adafruit_74hc595.ShiftRegister74HC595(spi, latch_pin)

pin1 = sr.get_pin(1)

while True:
    pin1.value = True
    time.sleep(1)
    pin1.value = False
    time.sleep(1)
