i been playing aound with a shift register but so far have had no luck getting any output on it
i know the code is crappy at the mo but i was just trying to get a pin (any pin) set.
Code:
#pragma config OSC = IRCIO67, PWRT = OFF, WDT = OFF, MCLRE = ON, DEBUG = ON, LVP = OFF //..............Fuse stup
#include <p18f4685.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <delays.h>
#include <usart.h>
#include <adc.h>
#include "EEP.h"


#define reset LATDbits.LATD3 //storgae register reclear pin 10 on 595 clears the register 
#define data_input  LATDbits.LATD2 //pin 14 on 595 (ds) ser loads in the data if pin high 1 is loaded if low 0 is loaded
#define stclk LATDbits.LATD1 // pin 11 on 595 (shcp) clock pin toggle to load data in storage register clk
#define output_enable LATDbits.LATD4 // active low
#define latch LATDbits.LATD0//shift register clk
#define low =0;
#define high =1;
 void main (void)
{
	
//sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss all the things we do once sssssssssssssssssssssss	
    // speed up the clock to 8MHz,18f4685
    //OSCCONbits.IRCF0=1;
    //OSCCONbits.IRCF1=1;
    //OSCCONbits.IRCF2=1;
    OSCCON = 0x70;
    while(OSCCON & 0x02);

    ADCON1=0x0A; //set up ADC
    CMCON=0x07;
    //stdout = _H_USER; 
    TRISBbits.TRISB2=1;            //set switch 1 to input
    TRISD=0x00;
output_enable=0;
   reset=0;
   latch=1;
   latch=0; 
  LATDbits.LATD4=0;
    while(1)
 //ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
    {
	    
	    Nop();
	    output_enable=0;
	   data_input=1;
	   Nop();
	   stclk=1;
	   latch=1;
	   latch=0;
	   Nop();
	   stclk=0;
	   latch=1; 
	   }
}
i am aware i probaly not given enough info but i cant think of what else i need to tell you :rolleyes: soon as it pops back in my head i will post any details i have left out.
so from the scant info anyone got any cluse where i am going wrong?
 
Need to set Output enable, low it's active low

Set the latch low then clock out your data

i thought i had done that, i will have another go in the morning, hopefuly the old brain will have better function after sleep :D i also better recheck my connections.
 
In your code your setting the latch to 1.
You set it low then data_bit out clock, data_bit out clock, till you send all your bit's then latch.

This Is in C but not C18 but it will give a idea

Code:
void loop() {
  // count from 0 to 255 and display the number 
  // on the LEDs
  for (int numberToDisplay = 0; numberToDisplay < 256; numberToDisplay++) {
    // take the latchPin low so 
    // the LEDs don't change while you're sending in bits:
    digitalWrite(latchPin, LOW);
    // shift out the bits:
    shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, MSBFIRST, numberToDisplay);  

    //take the latch pin high so the LEDs will light up:
    digitalWrite(latchPin, HIGH);
    // pause before next value:
    delay(500);
  }
}

Here's a C snippet of how I sent data to the 74HC595

CLK88 = clock pin
SER88 = serial data pin
STC88 = Latch pin

Code:
Ia=7;
      do       // Send Red 8 bits to 74HC595's
         {
           SER88=0;                       // PIXEL ON
           if(slice>=gm[*(pR+Ia)] )  SER88=1; // PIXEL OFF
           CLK88=1;                       // Send current bit to 74HC595
           // asm nop
           CLK88=0;
         }
      while(Ia--);

     PORTC = ~Ival;                    // Change to next row (row on ='0')
     STC88 = 1;  STC88 = 0;            // Latch data in registers to output
