Astroart Forum

I recently bought a FLI camera and wanted to use it in Astroart.

I already installed the FLI Software Installation Kit. And I can use the FLI Camera in other apps (e.g. TheSkyX or SGPro).

Then I downloaded and copied the dll into the Astroart directory. FLI now shows up in the CCD plugin. But when I select it, I get a "dll could not be loaded" error. I downloaded it again to make sure that it wasn't damaged. I checked the permissions - they are the same as for all the other camera dll's.

Any ideas how to further diagnose that? Anybody had a similar issue and has some idea how to fix it?

Thanks

Hello, if you copied the file d_fli.dll, then it's not enough. You also need the file libfli.dll which is updated by FLI (so it's not included in Astroart).
You may find it in the FLIGrab folder, as written in fli-readme.htm, or in the FLI web site:

[right panel] - files "Windows binaries" or "Example code" (they have different timestamps, so it's better to use the one installed on your PC yet)
