i finally got my hands on a Mac:
installed the same Pd, leapmotion software, [leapmotion] for Mac.
with my controller i got immediate result.
the message "focus gained" appeared instantly,
and i could use the cursor-test: moving around and firing the bang.
it really looks like there's something not right with [leapmotion] for Windows.
(the leapmotion apps available for V2 are also working onmy Windows machine).
NB fwiw, when opening leapmotion.h in Visual Studio there appears this message
"// this project is built against LeapDeveloperKit_2.3.1+31549_mac, and requires the same version of libLeap.dylib"

i've been trying to get leapmotion-help working, with minimal succes. where the leapmotion diagnostic visualiser shows my hands representation all the time, [leapmotion] does not report anything from the controler, and now and then prints the messages focus gained/focus lost.
only a few times suddenly a frame with general data showed up, with or without a change of position for the button in the cursor-test.
why, i don't know. i cannot reproduce it, whatever i do with my hand(s).
the siamese appearance of the gained/lost messages gives the impression (to me) there's some 'secret magic' needed for [leapmotion] to get focussed.
what am i missing or doing wrong?
