74LS595 Shift Register by BARRAGAN http://barraganstudio.com
Sends the value stored in the byte variable counter to the shift register. The shift register outputs QA to QH will reflect the value sent.

    int data = 0; 	   // Wiring pin 0 for data
    int clock = 1;     // Wiring pin 1 for clock
    int strobe = 2;    // Wiring pin 2 for the strobe (latch)
    byte counter = 0;

    void setup() {
      pinMode(data OUTPUT);
      pinMode(clock, OUTPUT);
      pinMode(strobe, OUTPUT);
    }

    void loop() {
      digitalWrite(strobe, LOW);
      shiftOut(data, clock, LSBFIRST, counter);  // writes counter to the shift register
      digitalWrite(strobe, HIGH);
      delay(1000);
      counter = counter + 1;
    }
