In the code, we define a shiftOut() function, which is used to output value with bit in order. And where the
dPin for the data pin, cPin for the clock and order for the priority bit flag (high or low). This function conforms
to the operation mode of 74HC595. LSBFIRST and MSBFIRST are two different flow directions.
d e f shiftOut ( dPin , cPin , order , val ):
f o r i i n range ( 0 , 8 ):
GPIO . output ( cPin , GPIO . LOW );
i f ( order = = LSBFIRST ):
GPIO . output ( dPin ,( 0x01 &( val >> i )== 0x01 ) a n d GPIO . HIGH o r GPIO . LOW )
e l if ( order = = MSBFIRST ):
GPIO . output ( dPin ,( 0x80 &( val << i )== 0x80 ) a n d GPIO . HIGH o r GPIO . LOW )
GPIO . output ( cPin , GPIO . HIGH );
In the loop() function, we use two “for” cycle to achieve the target. First, define a variable x=0x01, binary
00000001. When it is transferred to the output port of 74HC595, the low bit outputs high level, then a LED is
turned on. Next, x is shifted one bit, when x is transferred to the output port of 74HC595 once again, the LED
turned on will be shifted. Repeat the operation, the effect of flowing water light will be formed. If the direction
of the shift operation for x is different, the flowing direction is different.

shiftOut ( dataPin , clockPin , LSBFIRST , x ) #Send serial data to 74HC595
GPIO . output ( latchPin , GPIO . HIGH ) #Output high level to latchPin, and 74HC595
will update the data to the parallel output port.
x < < = 1 # make the variable move one bit to left once, then the bright LED move
one step to the left once.
