    256 outputs from 8 bit

    I am new to electronics but understand many principles. Very fascinating stuff. In my mind I would think it possible to control up to 256  outputs from an 8 bit input such as a parallel port controlling home automation relays/devices. I will not need all the outputs but would like to learn how...
