[IGSTK-Users] Ascension 3D Guidance trakSTAR issues

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Efthymios Efstathiou,

AscensionTracker is for FlockOfBird type of Ascension tracker, which 
uses serial communication.

Ascension3DGTracker are for Ascension's newer generation 3D Guidance 
series, including trackSTAR, driveBAY, and medSAFE. They uses USB based 
drivers. You need to setup ATC_LIBRARY and ATC_INCLUDE_DIRECTORY to 
compile it.

Do you have a problem when compile the IGSTK library or you are having 
this issue when compiling your own code?

Can you send me your CMakeCache.txt file in your IGSTK binary directory?

Thank you,

Patrick
