Hello John,

                     I am using a LimeSDR USB type B device, not a BT Mini device. The instructions to which you have directed me to pertain to the Mini device i think???

                     Or are they valid for my device too?

                    Attached you  will find instructions valid for my device. I have a windows 1 system by the way.

                    I got these instructions from the octave folder which i got from https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSDR_Workshop/tree/master/octave

Hello,
                  I am trying to connect the LimeSDR to Octave on my laptop. I have the interface and all, but when I run an example program called “ASK.m”,
I get the following error:

error: ASK: could not find library or dependents: C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.3\lib\octave\packages\limesdr-1.0.0\i686-w64-mingw32-api
-v50+\LimeSuite.oct
error: called from
    ASK at line 80 column 2

What is the problem?
And what is the solution?

Thanks a lot,
Vinayak

I haven't used it, but looking at instructions [1], my guess would be the comment and steps may not have been done/correctly for the following:

Also extract .dll from limesdr-1.0.0.tar.gz and keep here

'control panels'->'system'->'advance system settings'->'environmental variables'->'path'
add C:\Users\UserName\octave to your path

Can you verify that the environment path was set, and includes the path where the dll is?

I has the same info in the tarball from the link you provided:
