Abstract
We are now going to go back to controlling LEDs. This time, however, we will not be driving them directly from the Arduino. Instead we are going to use a fantastic little chip known as a shift register. These ICs (integrated circuits) will enable us to control eight separate LEDs using just three pins from the Arduino and, as you will see in Project 18, a total of 16 LEDs, again using just three pins from the Arduino.
