well i guess i dont change the name to the port but select another port... this is how i do it control panel > system > hardware > device manager > under Ports, select the port > rightclick select properties > port settings > advanced > COM Port Number > here I choose port number 2 because it is the lower unused port. > With [comport] you can use up to COM99 and they will all work if there > is a port connected. Are you superstitious ? ;) What error do you get? no i am not superstitious. i get this error ** ERROR ** could not open device COM13: failure (2) after changing to port number 2 i get this Opening COM2 [comport] opened serial line device 2 (COM2) >> I guess this question has little to do with PD itself but, is there a >> way to make sure that it always uses port COM2 by default? >> > > If you want [comport] to use COM2, just make a [comport 2] object. > Or make a [comport 13] to have it connect to the arduino.
