    First shift - 1101

    Second shift - 0110

    Third shift - 1011

    Fourth shift - 1101

    Fifth shift - 0110

    Sixth shift - 1011

    Explanation:

    Each time you shift a register to the right, you do 3 things:

    The rightmost digit drops off You move the next three digits over one position to the right You fill in the leftmost position with one of the numbers from your serial input.

    Contents are initially 1011. The 1 on the right disappears. The leftmost 3 digits (101) end up in the last 3 positions of the register. The first position of the register takes a number from the serial input, which is 1 in this case. So you end up with 1101.

    Do this a second time. The rightmost 1 is gone, the 110 end up as the last 3 positions of the register, and you end up with 0 in the leftmost position. This one is 0110.

    The remaining 4 follow the same pattern.
