Hi everyone!!! Recently my notebook assigns to Arduino UNO high numbers of COM ports like COM11 or COM12. In this case the software doesn’t work as should do, via serial monitor, like if the communication of the target angle to move to, doesn’t deliver to the sotware. While if I use another notebook the COM is different (for eample COM6) and all works well.
Any suggestion on how to make it possible to obtain lower COM numbers? Or some way for the system to work with COM12?
Thank you
Hi @fdurante ,
SimpleFOC has no idea which COM port number is being used on the PC side, and it also works equally well with Mac OS or Linux, which use completely different device naming schemes.
It simply doesn’t matter at all on the Arduino side, because this side is dealing with its own Serial interface hardware, and not the PC’s.
So I think this is a problem of Windows and your settings there. If the higher number ports aren’t working well, maybe it’s a driver issue, or some settings on these ports are not correct.
Yes, I verified it is a problem with my PC… with another one, the problem doesn’t exist. Thank you!
