# FastShiftOut
|
|
|
|
Arduino library for (AVR) optimized shiftOut - e.g. 74HC595
|
|
|
|
A library for FastShiftIn also exist - https://github.com/RobTillaart/FastShiftIn
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
FastShiftOut is a class that has optimized code for AVR to shift out data faster
|
|
than the normal shiftOut() function.
|
|
It speeds up the shift using low level ports and masks. These are predetermined
|
|
in the constructor of the FastShiftOut object.
|
|
|
|
If not an **ARDUINO_ARCH_AVR** or **ARDUINO_ARCH_MEGAAVR** the class falls back
|
|
to the default shiftOut() implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Performance
|
|
|
|
The performance of **write()** is substantially faster than the default Arduino
|
|
**shiftOut()**, but not as fast as HW SPI.
|
|
Exact how big the performance gain is can be seen with the example sketch.
|
|
It does a comparison and shows how the class is to be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Interface
|
|
|
|
The interface exists of the following functions:
|
|
|
|
- **size_t write(const uint8_t data);** send a byte, also the workhorse of the **Print** interface
|
|
- **uint8_t lastWritten()** returns last byte writtem
|
|
- **bool setBitOrder(bitOrder)** set LSBFIRST or MSBFIRST. Returns false for other values.
|
|
- **uint8_t getBitOrder(void)** returns LSBFIRST or MSBFIRST
|
|
- **size_t writeLSBFIRST(const uint8_t data);** most optimized
|
|
- **size_t writeMSBFIRST(const uint8_t data);** most optimized
|
|
|
|
As a FastShiftOut object implements the Print interface, one can also call
|
|
- **FSO.print(any type);** or
|
|
- **FSO.println(any type);**
|
|
|
|
to send e.g. a float with 4 digits over the line, or some text string.
|
|
|
|
Note: **FSO.print()** returns the characters printed, including an optional \\r or \\n.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- The optimizations are AVR only for now, other platforms may follow.
|
|
- The 74HC595 needs 0.1uF caps and the data and clock lines may need
|
|
pull up resistors, especially if wires are exceeding 10 cm (4").
