GBALib_ShiftRegister is a lightweight Arduino library for managing the 74HC595N Shift Register. This library provides a simple and intuitive interface to control the outputs of a shift register, allowing you to manipulate individual bits, toggle them, or clear the entire register.

• Turn on/off specific bits: Control each output pin of the shift register independently.
• Toggle bits: Easily invert the state of any bit.
• Clear all bits: Reset all outputs to LOW.
• Efficient state management: The internal state is tracked to minimize unnecessary operations.

The library is included in the Arduino Library Manager. You can install it either by using the Library Manager or manually by following the steps below.

1. Download or clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/<your-repo-name>/GBALib_ShiftRegister.git

2. Copy the GBALib_ShiftRegister folder into your Arduino libraries directory.
3. Restart the Arduino IDE to refresh the library index.

ShiftRegister(uint8_t dataPin, uint8_t latchPin, uint8_t clockPin);

• dataPin: The pin connected to the data input of the shift register.
• latchPin: The pin connected to the latch input of the shift register.
• clockPin: The pin connected to the clock input of the shift register.

Turns on a specific bit in the shift register.

• bit: The bit to turn on (0-7).

Turns off a specific bit in the shift register.

• bit: The bit to turn off (0-7).

Toggles the state of a specific bit in the shift register.

• bit: The bit to toggle (0-7).

Clears all bits in the shift register, resetting all outputs to LOW.

Here’s an example of how to use the library:

#include <GBALib_ShiftRegister.h>

// Initialize a ShiftRegister object with dataPin=2, latchPin=3, clockPin=4
ShiftRegister sr(2, 3, 4);

void setup() {
  sr.clear(); // Reset all outputs
}

void loop() {
  // Sequentially turn on and off each bit
  for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
    sr.on(i);
    delay(500);
    sr.off(i);
    delay(500);
  }
}
