Error Opening Serial Port Arduino Ide

Oct 08, 2012 Take a look at your Arduino IDE to see the device name assigned to your Arduino’s virtual serial port. This name will change based on what USB to Serial chip and operating system you are using. While you can use the full name like “/dev/tty.usbmodem023432” to search for the open device, I suggest just using a substring like “usbmodem“. Arduino board not detected when connected via USB. Ask Question Asked 6 years, 5 months ago. It worked before but stopped working with it abruptly.( In the IDE it asks me to go to tools and select serial port but it is grayed out) arduino usb ide.

Can't Select Port Arduino Ide
Hello guys, I am a student who is working on my bachelor thesis.I am dealing with stepper motors and the controller using Arduino, and I am creating a GUI for my stepper motor to control it. I try Processing, and it seems simple and powerful enough.However, I encountered a problem when I am running Processing program.' Error opening serial port COM1: Port not found'I use Ubuntu OS 14.04, Processing 2.2.1, and Arduino IDE 1.0.5.This problem appeared as soon as I run my processing code, right after I uploaded my Arduino code.Anybody can help to fix this issue?Thanks very much!:).
How are you connecting to the serial port (what software are you using to received the serial data)? I don't do much with Windows, but I think the problem that you're having is that your terminal emulator is expecting to see the data on your COM1 port but you're actually transmitting the data over USB and a virtual serial port. The serial monitor in the Arduino IDE picks up the serial port from the setting in the menu Tools Port (which is also used for your upload), but other programs will need it to be explicitly set.–Nov 26 '15 at 20:09. I've got an idea.
Your board isn't being recognized. Try unplugging the arduino and see if Com 1 is still there.
Sometimes it can recognize mice and other devices as Com 1 or 2 instead of your arduino.On some of my development machines after everything settled out my devices will show up on Com 4 and 5 when I am working on two at a time.If this is not the case go into the device manager and see if you can see the board listed.I would also wonder if you have your sensor hooked to digital pins 0 and 1. These pins are used for your serial line on usb. So if you have anything such as a sensor hooked to them it may be generating data keeping the line busy instead of it being able to negotiate.I had this happen when setting up hc-05 for the first time. I realized I had to keep the chip off while flashing or I would end up with errors or Com busy.Please provide your pinout and basic information about the Com ports available on the ide.
