sending changes: max-Spark Fun RGB LED matrix
i have been able apply changes led matrix via updating/uploading sketch. hooked arduino via spi.
also, have managed set maxuino , toggle led.
i put method sending different values each point on grid. think need method of sending list max serial device. not sure of how.
i visited http://firmata.org/wiki/proposals , seems spi not yet supported. reaffirms theory maxuino may not best solution needs, or @ least have borrow/change lot of code.
i hope member might able offer input on. think can broken down in list of more basic questions. give shot:
can max send serial messages arduino in such way serial device receive on spi?
i sure can, need code listen these changes , apply them. step hacking sketch primitive c-skills, should able find examples if has (is possible of being) done.
any highly appreciated.
here example code led matrix have been working with:
sample arduino sketch

i don't understand though, or belongs...:
sample interface code
http://www.sparkfun.com/code/rgb_sample_interface_code.zip
there seems many different approaches want newb bit overwhelmed. think if arduino transparent medium sent messages max's serial object, need bit of code interpret messages locally on led unit itself. seems shouldn't big deal bit overwhelmed. continue researching , experimenting value input.

alright. thinking out loud, think stepping in right direction.
if timeline correct, people using arduinos max prior maxuino , firmata way of getting people up-and-running. such, environment establishing connectivity various common functionalities of arduino: running sensors, , receiving data, , seems via osc.
for want do, need run data through spi, need update values led via updating messages. feel close not getting something.
i feel rather using firmata, should concentrate on adapting (posted link) c sketch responds dynamically data has been via max's serial object.
what think?
...help?
