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

[Miller Puckette]

Hi all -

I didn't have much trouble ust compiling the "Sample.cpp" example in the
2.3 development kit; this prints lots of stuff on standard output.  I then
changed the print statements in the code to only print out the numbers I
cared about with a trailingsemicolon, then piped to "pdsend", giving it
a UDP port in my patch.

Because the sample program sometimes just quits I make an auto-restarting
script:

while true; do
/home/msp/work/poolbox-leap/leap2pool |\
    /home/msp/pd/bin/pdsend 3000 localhost udp
echo restart...
sleep 1
done

(where "leap2pool" is my version of Sample.cpp).  I think this is pretty
robust - if a leap extern in Pd decided to crash it would takePd down but
the way I do it I only lose a second of connection.

cheers
Miller
