How can i control a shift register(74HC595) with Max (Maxuino)?

Hello,
I want to control a shift register with Max/MSP.
I have searched almost all the Internet but have found nothing useful.
The only thing that comes close is this: little-scale: Talking to 3 595's via Max/MSP.
I do not know well what should I do with.... (I'm not so long busy with Max / MSP and arduino's)

I use

  • Arduino rev3
  • 74HC595 shift register
  • Maxuino 014 (or Simple Message System but that is not what I prefer)
  • Max 5.1

My questionis: does anyone know how I can control, with the above, a 74HC595 shift register in Max? Maybe a example patch or tutorial?
I like a way that I can expand the max patch to multiple shift registers (little-scale: Three 595 shift registers).

Thank you!

hello,
Thanks for your answer but that's not quite what I'm looking for;)
Maxuino is a way to control your arduino through max (PC).
I whant Max to controll the 959 chip. Now i am looking for a way to do that.
