XY magic trackpad multitouch controller

Hi all. I'm trying to make a multitouch controller, using a magic trackpad to control stuff on max, and I found that is hard quest! Looking for tips on internet i found Fingerpinger project. Simply amazing, but whend I download it I found that not working (OSX 10.14, Max 8an .3). On the official website seems the project is discontinued even is available a download link for Catalina... IDK! I tried all the download link but none has work (I see the object and can open the max help but nothing comes out from the FP outlets).

Does anybody know any application working or way to make something like that?

PS. I'm pretty advanced on Max programming but the hard work now is to make trackpad comunicate it's data with Max so that i can build the controller. This topic online seems pretty inexistent.

Thanks!

Here I found an external application to let the trackpad ready to communicate with Max via UDP port. The code is open source so, there is a way to implement the code inside a patch so that I can start all just by opening the patch?

SOLVED!

I found the solution in bottom of the Fingerpinger download page:

"copy the MultitouchSupport.framework from /System/PrivateFrameworks/ to the xcode project folder to be able to compile the external."

Download page:

Hope all this will be useful to someone else :)
