im trying to write a string in COM4, which is a usb-serial adapter using Visual Studio C #, and got the following error:
Access to the "COM4" port is denied.
My program is very simple:
serialport.Open();
serialport.WriteLine("test");
serialport.Close();
I also tried using pyserial with python and got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
ser.write("string")
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\serial\serialwin32.py", line 255, in write
raise SerialException("WriteFile failed (%s)" % ctypes.WinError())
SerialException: WriteFile failed ([Error 6] The handle is invalid.)
I know this question is not related to programming and probably refers to Windows 7, but I was hoping that someone already had a similar problem.
