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?
