Hey everyone im back once again needing some assistance school started and I brought the Idea of the LED cube to him and he liked it but he asked me to find out the theory or I guess the way it works we will be using shift registers instead of directly driving the LED's so it allows me 12 output pins instead of the 5 that the 12F509 has but im wondering how I would go about doing the pulses to the shift register ive seen a little code out there about it but not too much any help I know the shift register takes 4 inputs data,clock,latch,enable output and I will be using the 74HC595 as my shift register to start with just to see how it works right just using 8 LED's first and my PIC controlling them in a fashion that I want it doesn't have to be perfect and its just some quick testing I don't want to hear just get a better PIC bc im just starting out with them and the PIC 12F509 is good for right now maby later I will get some better ones but Thanks for all the help guys its much needed and once its in there its never going to come out haha
