Reverse engineering notes
- There is a row of 595 shift registers, one row for each colour
- The pins your interested are the shift reg pins, and A B C,
- ABC is a binary coded decimal notation for row selection
- You then multiplex over the rows
- The two banks of shift regs share a clock and latch, and have two separate data inputs. So you have to input two streams of data at the same time using the same clock/latch
- Its just one (two) sets of shift registers, with three pins to select which row you want to light
- If you want to do both colours though, you can't use arduino's shiftOut function
