Installation

libpsinc relies on libusb-1.0 to communicate with the hardware. Platform specific instructions for installation can be found on this page.

Linux

The libusb-1.0 libraries should be installed using your package manager of choice. For example, on Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0

To access a PSI camera with normal user permissions you will need to create a udev rule. In a new file at /etc/udev/rules.d/40-camera.rules enter the following:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0525", ATTR{idProduct}=="aaca", SYMLINK+="camera%n", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

and make sure your user account is a member of the group plugdev.

Windows

On Windows, the simplest way to install the PSI camera is using zadig.

• Simply download the version of zadig that is appropriate for your platform.
• Ensure the camera is plugged in.
• Run zadig and from the Options menu select List All Devices.
• The camera should be called "ASC_L" or "PSILOC" depending upon the model, but even if the name is different it will still have the USB ID 0525 AACA.
• Choose the appropriate driver from the drop-down (WinUSB is recommended, but if you have trouble communicating with the camera please try libusb-win32).
• Click the install button.
