## Description
FastShiftIn is a class that has optimized code (AVR only) to shift in data faster
than the normal **shiftIn()** function.
It speeds up the shift using low level ports and masks. These are predetermined
in the constructor of the FastShiftIn object.
If not an **ARDUINO_ARCH_AVR** or **ARDUINO_ARCH_MEGAAVR** the class falls back
to the default shiftIn() implementation.
Since 0.3.2 read16(), read24() and read32() are added.
These are experimental and not fully tested yet.
## Performance
The performance of **read()** is substantially faster than the default Arduino
**shiftIn()**, 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.
Time in microseconds, Arduino UNO
| function | 0.2.3 | 0.3.2 |
|:---------------------|---------:|---------:|
| read() | 19.30 | 20.49 |
| read16() | | 41.04 |
| read24() | | 62.91 |
| read32() | | 83.95 |
| readLSBFIRST() | 19.04 | 19.92 |
| readMSBFIRST() | 19.04 | 19.92 |
| reference shiftIn() | 107.82 | 108.20 |
0.3.2 is a bit slower (incl. reference) than 0.2.3 but still much
faster than the reference.
## Interface
```cpp
#include "FastShiftIn.h"
```
#### Functions
- **FastShiftIn(uint8_t dataIn, uint8_t clockPin, uint8_t bitOrder = LSBFIRST)** Constructor
- **uint16_t read(void)** reads a new value, 8 bit.
- **uint16_t read16(void)** reads a new value, 16 bit.
- **uint32_t read24(void)** reads a new value, 24 bit.
- **uint32_t read32(void)** reads a new value, 32 bit.
- **uint32_t lastRead()** returns last value read.
- **bool setBitOrder(uint8_t bitOrder)** set LSBFIRST or MSBFIRST.
Returns false for other values.
- **uint8_t getBitOrder(void)** returns LSBFIRST or MSBFIRST.
- **uint16_t readLSBFIRST(void)** optimized LSB read(), 8 bit.
- **uint16_t readMSBFIRST(void)** optimized MSB read(), 8 bit.
#### Byte order
It might be that **read16/24/32** has bytes not in the right order.
Then you should use multiple calls to **read()** and merge these
bytes in the order you want them.
## Notes
- The optimizations are AVR only for now, other platforms may follow.
- The 74HC165 needs 0.1uF caps and the data and clock lines may need
pull up resistors, especially if wires are exceeding 10 cm (4").
## Future
#### Must
#### Should
- extend unit tests
#### Could
- esp32 optimization readLSBFIRST readMSBFIRST
- **read(uint8_t \* arr, uint8_t nr)** ??
- example schema
- would it be interesting to make a fastShiftIn16() etc?
- squeeze performance but more maintenance.?
