The MCS1 controller uses python bindings of the Smaract Library as provided by Smaract. It should work directly after installation of the plugin since the libraries are included. If it is not, try to run the .sh Bash script in the mcs1 folder (Linux case). Tested on Windows and Ubuntu.
The MCS2 controller uses python bindings of the Smaract Library as provided by Smaract. It can seamlessly be used on any platform once you've installed the corresponding SDK (and its *.dll or *.so library).
