Transmitting data from multiple sensors using serial interface

[cts_casemod]

Hi,

I have a bunch of different signals that I would like to combine and transmit over a serial interface with 3/4 wires.

There is a lot of information on serial to parallel, but what do I need to convert from parallel to serial? Can I just use a 555 for clock and some kind of shift register so that I can encode/decode data on both ends?

Any other options perhaps?

Regards
