What do you do when your microcontroller doesn’t have enough pins? Learn how to use the CD4094 output-type shift register and the CD4021 input-type shift register to control LEDs and read out the status of pushbuttons, and all of that with only three wires.
In six steps, learn all about the CD4094 output-type shift register, the CD4021 input-type shift register, and how to use them with a microcontroller. And in the end, put it all to use with an SNES game controller, which—you guessed it—also uses shift registers on the inside.
