The Chief Engineer of ICStation R&D department Jack is using ICStation UNO R3 compatible with Arduino to successfully make the 74HC595 drive four digital LED display. We will share the schematic diagram, wiring diagram,making steps,download Diagram and also the useful program code designed by ICStation.
When you develop a project, it often needs to make IO expansion.The 74HC595 shifting register is a good choice. Following will introduce you that use two pieces 74HC595 to realize the display system of four digital LED(of course, can also realize 8 digital LED display) .It only uses three IO (PIN2,3, 5) of Arduino.
Components list:
- 1x ICStation UNO development board $12.69 ( Or Arduino UNO development board)
- 2x 74HC595
- 30x DuPont line
- 1x four digital LED display with the same anode
- 20x 20mm pin header
- 1x Bread board
- 1x USB Cable
- 4x 47Ω resistance
Step 1: Schematic diagram
Step 2: The wiring diagram:
Step 3: To build the circuit according to the schematic diagram
Because we only do testing, maybe it is not practical.If you want it to have practical use, you should weld it manually which will make the circuit more stable. When you build the circuit by hand the pin header is needed which will help you to change the DuPont line to jumper wires immediately.
