Hi,

I have a problem when trying to install a Bonsai package. I tried to install PointGrey library to use the FlyCapture module. I can find this package within the installed packages, but when I search it in Toolbox I cannot find this package. When I opened the pre-coded files, the FlyCapture module turns red, and the description said "This is a proxy for unknown type. Please install any missing packages or replace this module".

I tried both Bonsai portable version 2.6.3 (2.6.3.3552) /2.3.1 in both Win 7/Win10 environment but none of them works.

Thanks.

I felt that it might be related to the wrong configuration of the package path, so I checked the Bonsai.config but it looks normal. Unfortunately, I can't figure out why Bonsai failed to detect this installed package.

What version of the flycapture SDK do you have installed?

Hi Bruno, I am using FlyCapture viewer 2.13.3.61, but I don't know if it includes the SDK

Can you try to install an older version and give it another try (e.g. 2.11.3.425 ) ?

I have it hosted on my dropbox, but you can probably find it in their website too.
