Arduino / Firefly Port COM4 Problem

Hi !

I' m trying to read the data from Arduino LDR/Servo Code and I want to import it to the Grasshopper. But "Open Port" command doesn't allow me to. Following error pops up: "1. Solution exception:Access to the port 'COM4' is denied."

I' ve already checked the port configurations both from device manager and Arduino itself, but I couldn't solve it.

I am attaching an image where I show the situation. Any help would be much appreciated :)

Cheers!

Hey, I read this thread later, and tried to open things in order, although it looks like it worked in their systems, mine didn't. I hope it might be a help for you..

I don't know what the right order exactly is and can't seem to find it?

Siemen hi! I did it! It was these lines at the link I shared.. "then it would throw you an error. For instance, let's say you're trying to connect to COM3, but when you opened an existing sketch and the COM port input had been set to COM4... then no matter if you changed the number back to 3... it still wouldn't open. The trick would be to save the file with the correct settings (so set the port to 3) and then close the file and re-open... this time it should work..." So I just checked every port line in both Arduino, Device Manager, then checked Baud values in Arduino and device Manager where I found out tht baud level in device manager-advanced settings was different, then saved my Arduino sketch, closed and re-opened it..Voila! It worked. Hope yours will make it as well..

HI Ukendt! Thanks for this, I haven't had the time to try it out but I will soon!
