// Version 1, 5 August 2021, by Koepel
//     Initial version.
// Version 2, 5 August 2021, by Koepel
//     Layout of the wiring made better.
// Version 3, 13 August 2021, by Koepel
//     Changed 'SCK' to 'clockPin'.
//
// Cascade of four 74HC165 shift-in registers.
// Only three pins are used on the Arduino board, to read 32 switches.
//
// Using the 74HC165 is safe, because a pulse to the Latch pin 
// ('PL' on the 74HC165) will make a new start every time. 
// In case of an error or a wrong clock pulse by noise, 
// it synchronizes the data when inputs are read the next time.
//
// Based on:
//   (1)
//     Demo sketch to read from a 74HC165 input shift register
