Step 1: Shift Register 595 and Outputs ![](https://maker.wiznet.io/uploads/2019/04/FQATHH5INQBK62J.LARGE_-300x242.jpg) ![](https://maker.wiznet.io/uploads/2019/04/FVUD8NTINQBKBZD.LARGE_-300x200.jpg) The shift register will give to your Arduino an additional 8 digital outputs, by using only 3 pins on your board! Here you can find a simple tutorial with the shift register 595 IC and Arduino uno board. SR 595 and Arduino uno: Pin 8 (GND) to GND Pin 10 (SRCLR') to 5V Pin 11 (SRCLK) to Arduino pin 6 Pin 12 (RCLK) to Arduino pin 5 Pin 13 (OE') to GND Pin 14 (SER) to Arduino pin 4 Pin 16 (Vcc) to 5V QA is the first output - QH is the 8th output. We will connect each output with one screw driver - terminal and with an LED through a 220 Ohm resistor. When you are ready, proceed to the next step. (tip: You can use the QH' - pin 9 to add one more shift register ic and expand your outputs.) Step 2: Buttons and PhotoCell ![](https://maker.wiznet.io/uploads/2019/04/F2G10VYINQBKCPP.LARGE_-300x200.jpg) We will add 8 buttons, but we will use only 2 Arduino pins. Find here a tutorial with multiple buttons through only one analog pin of Arduino board. Button BUS line 1 for output 1 to 4 to Arduino analog pin A4 Button BUS line 2 for output 5 to 8 to Arduino analog pin A5 Add a photocell to control a light bulb. It can be an outdoor light that will automatically turn on at night! Find here a tutorial with a photocell (or photoresistor). Use one screw driver - terminal here to expand the sensor for the main circuit. Photocell will be connected to Arduino analog pin A3. You can now proceed to the next step. Step 3: Ethernet Shield ![](https://maker.wiznet.io/uploads/2019/04/FDL9IGSINQBKDPO.LARGE_-1-300x227.jpg) ![](https://maker.wiznet.io/uploads/2019/04/FDN40KZINQBKDPM.LARGE_-300x300.jpg) If you have an Ethernet Shield just attached it on the Arduino uno board. I am using the Wiznet Wiz550io ethernet module. It uses the same library with official Arduino Ethernet Shield (Ethernet.h), the only difference is that it has a unique MAC address. Some notes about SPI connection: MOSI - Arduino pin 11 MISO - Arduino pin 12 SCLK - Arduino pin 13 SCSn - Arduino pin 10 Οptionally for Wiz550io RDY - Arduino pin 7 RST - Arduino pin reset INT - Arduino pin 2 Note! Wiz550io must be powered from 3.3V output pin of Arduino uno! Do not use the 5V pin with this module! Step 4: The Code![](https://maker.wiznet.io/uploads/2019/04/F5CHV20INQBKE8C.LARGE_-300x200.jpg) I also made my circuit in an breadboard first to test it. Here's the code, embedded using Codebender! Try downloading the codebender plugin and clicking on the Run on Arduino button to program your Arduino with this sketch. And that's it, you've programmed your Arduino board! If you want you can make your changes in the sketch below by pressing the "Edit" button. Try for example to change the labels of outputs, for example change "Output1" to "Kitchen Light" (line 164 value="Output 1"). You can also change the network ip addresses to fit your network configuration. Photo cell value (line 29) is setted to 300, but you can also change it by pressing the Edit button. If you don't use Codebender you have to manual search and install all additional libraries to your Arduino IDE.
