Starts from either the +most (i.e. the leftmost) or least (rightmost) significant bit. Each +bit is written in turn to a data pin, after which a clock pin is +pulsed to indicate that the bit is available. + + + +This is a software implementation; Arduino (as of 0019) also +provides an `SPI library <http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/SPI>`_ +that uses the hardware implementation. + + + +Syntax +------ + +shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, bitOrder, value) + + + +Parameters +---------- + +dataPin: the pin on which to output each bit (*int*) + + + +clockPin: the pin to toggle once the **dataPin** has been set to +the correct value (*int*) + + + +bitOrder: which order to shift out the bits; either **MSBFIRST** or +**LSBFIRST**. +(Most Significant Bit First, or, Least Significant Bit First) + + + +value: the data to shift out.
