[PD] status of leap motion controller in Pd, especially on Linux?

[Peter P.]

Hi,

what is the current status of leap motion support for Pd?
I saw Chikashi Miyama's external at
https://github.com/chikashimiyama/Pd_leapmotion
and a specific windows version apparently for leap motion V.2
https://github.com/chikashimiyama/Pd_Leapmotion_win

Am I correct to assume that the latter uses some leapmotion SDK that the
former doesn't use? What would furthermore be the best way to use the
controller under linux in Pd?

Thanks for all hints!
P
