Extension of the Fritzing LED shift register example for Arduino with 16 LEDs and two 74HC595. You only need three Arduino pins to operate 16 LED by using the daisy chainded 74HC595. Don't forget the resistors for the LED.

    This is an AWESOME project. Thank you very much for posting it. I was looking for a Knightrider effect. I doubled the row of lights. 2 x 16 lights without changing the resistor and it still works fine. I am going to add this to a bot so I will get 1x 125 resistors for the perm board.
