MaxO v0.1

OSC operations for ESP8266 + Max7219 matrixs led with micropython. Need an ESP8266 on a local network with internet gateway at least for install.

OSC commands :

• /demo
• /cls
• /text 'sometext'

OSC port : 9001 (change OSCport in maxserver.py)

Obviously change /dev/cu.usbserial-1D1310 with your serial port like /dev/tty.USB0
