I finally received the focus-confirmation chip, installed it into the 
Leica-R to 510 adapter, and here's some of the resulting photos.

Five test shots around the house:

Some of the items at Brimfield this past Wednesday.

The chip works well except for R lenses with a protruding metal 
semi-circular part in the rear of the lens... as found in the 19mm WA 
and the 50mm Summilux. The chip can't co-exist in the same place as the 
semi-circular part.

I've ordered another adapter to use with these lenses, albeit without 
focus confirmation.
