Hi,

I have 2 Cameras from Atik.

A 314L+ and a 16IC-S that I planned on using for guiding. I managed to get the 314L to connect but it was very buggy on sharpcap and often kept crashing. The 16IC-S I’m totally unable to find a driver for it at all. So far I’ve:

Installed the latest Atik bundle
Installed the legacy bundle
Ensured the drivers are ticked when installing

I’m running Windows 10 x64. Does anyone please happen to have a set of drivers for these cameras that work well with windows 10? My other option is to re-image my laptop to windows 7, but I’d rather not if I can help it.

Thanks,

Jayden

Here is a page linking to their "legacy" software. https://www.atik-cam...ware-downloads/

I don't use Windows but you might find something useful. The page references both Win7 and Win10 once you click past the link.

 

Clear skies.

Thanks Bluemoon, I’ve tried those already unfortunately. No idea why I can’t get it to work - very strange!

Hoping someone will have a copy of them stored somewhere :-)

Update:


So I went to the legacy section of the Atik site and scrolled down until I found the section which mentions downloading the USB 1 and 2 drivers - once I pointed device manager at these it worked a treat.

Hope this helps someone else!
